William Michael Link, 64, of DesPlaines, Illinois Bill was originally from Berwyn/Roselle, IL, but as a young adult he moved and lived between Texas and Arizona for most of his life. Arizona is where his heart truly is. He recently came home when he became ill to end the chapter of his life where it began...with family. Anyone who knew Bill knows of his skill of being a contractor/builder in construction of every kind. From building homes, re-modeling, to pools, and landscaping. It was his life’s career and he was highly successful at it!! He was a “Jack of all trades”. He also excelled at art and design! Bill loved the outdoors, fishing, sports and riding his Harley bike. He’s well known for his quick wit and sense of humor. Also, it cannot go without mentioning his “strong” personality and independence. The greatest joy and love of his life were his boys. For him it gave him the meaning for life itself.
