William M. Link

William M. Link, 60, a lifelong Cranston resident, passed away unexpectedly at home on February 3, 2026.

An avid antique enthusiast, William discovered his lifelong passion for furniture and antiques at a young age while working alongside his father, Jack. What began as an early interest grew into a lifelong calling, and together they built Second Time Around, a well-established furniture and antiques business in Providence. William was widely respected for his knowledge, discerning eye for quality, and dedication to his craft. He loved bringing people together and was known for hosting gatherings and parties as his children were growing up. Outside of his work, he found joy in the outdoors through fishing, camping, and boating, often sharing those moments with friends and family. A lifelong WWE wrestling fan, he also possessed a remarkable gift of gab—quickly turning strangers into friends and always ready with a story. While these passions filled his life, nothing meant more to him than his children and grandchildren.

He was predeceased by his parents, John C. Link and Anna E. Link (Cathers), and his brother, Jeffrey Link. He is survived by his son, William Bailey, his daughter, Melissa Bailey, and her husband Anthony Santos. He was the proud grandfather to William Bailey Jr. and Elizabeth Bailey. He is also survived by his siblings, Jacqueline Flaminio, Jill Link, Robert Link, Kenneth Link, Jody Link, Lisa Usenia, Ann Marie Link, Mark Link, Jennifer Heywood, Kimberly Link, and Kerri Link, as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.

His Funeral will be held on Tuesday, February 10, 2026 at 8:45 AM from the Nardolillo Funeral Home & Crematory, 1278 Park Ave., Cranston followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10:00 AM in St. Mary’s Church, Cranston. Burial will follow at St. Ann’s Cemetery, Cranston.

Calling hours will be held on Monday, February 9, 2026 from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM in the Funeral Home.
