Virgil Eugene Link, loving husband, father, grandfather and friend, passed on peacefully on July 28, 2012, in La Marque, Texas.
A graveside service will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 1, at Roselawn Cemetery in Bethalto under the direction of Marks Mortuary, with Scott Levan officiating.
Virgil was born on July 15, 1923, in Wood River, where he resided until moving to Texas in January of this year to be closer to his son, Dennis, and daughter-in-law, Jacki's family in the Texas City, Texas, area.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Emma and Homer Link, wife, Doris Darr Link, and son, Ron Link.
Survivors include his wife, Ada Goodman Link; her daughters, Penny Walker and children, Ryan and Kelly; Vickie Chestnut, husband, Don and their children, Brian Chestnut and Cheryl Watts; and son, Kevin Goodman, wife, Becky, and their children, Kristin Martin and Megan Pope. Also left to cherish Virgil's memories are brothers, Charles and wife, Eunice, of Phoenix, Ariz., and Lee of East Alton; son, Dennis Link and daughter-in-law, Jacki, and grandsons, Chad and wife, Mandy, Jerid and wife, Amy, and Joe and wife, Andrea, Scott, Todd and wife, Ali and Aaron Link; and granddaughter, Tara Link. Virgil also took great joy in times spent with his 14 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandson.
Special thanks to the love, support and friendship from Jim and Berta Berger Darr, Mark, Antra, Gene, Janet, Sabreena and Lorre Berger from San Diego, Calif., Curtis and Karen Berger from Durango, Colo., Liz, Molly and Katie Keister from Chesapeake, Va., Susie Cotter and John and Blondie Godar from Alton, and Bill and Cathy Clark from Bethalto.
Virgil shared many great memories of the time he spent as a teenager hauling ice with his Uncle Jim Buckner in Wood River. At the age of 22, in 1945, he worked on a special U.S. Army War Department task force, in the state of Washington, helping to create the atomic bomb that contributed to the end of World War II. Virgil hired in at Clark Oil in 1950 and retired in 1984 with 34 years of dedicated service. He proudly wore his retirement watch right up to the end of his life here on earth. Virgil was a very loyal, long-term member of the Wood River Moose Lodge, where friends and family would gather almost every Friday night for fish, fellowship and a good time for all.
Virgil was also a lifetime St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan. He rarely missed a game listening to Harry Cary or Jack Buck on the radio or in later years watching the games with his wife, Ada, on TV. Virgil didn't hesitate to give the 2011 world champion Cardinal players and coaches some "constructive" advice on the best way to play America's favorite pastime. God recruited Virgil to watch over the Cardinals during this year's run back to the playoffs. Go Cardinals!
Favorite memories of Virgil will be his kind heart, passion for family and friends and competitive, yet fun, nature when playing cards, pool, ping-pong, shuffle board, chess or any game. He taught us to play to win, learn from your loses and always put forth your best effort at home, work and play. We are truly blessed to have known Virgil as a father, grandfather and friend and are better people because of his love, guidance and caring attitude. He would want us to continue to love and support each other and cherish our time together until we meet again in eternal life.
One of Virgil's passions was writing poems to family members and friends over the years. As a tribute to Grandpa Link and his poetic talents, his grandson, Jerid Link wrote the following poem.
A Poet's Goodbye
As I shed this mortal coil
Farewell to all my friends
Please keep me in your hearts
Until we meet again.
Please send my love to others
Whose eyes this does not reach
Take comfort in these words
And the lessons that they teach
May our love not be forgotten
May it always be agreed
To speak kindly of me often
Goodbye, Good luck ... God Speed | Link, Virgil Eugene (I2952)

Vivian Jack Denning died aboard the merchant navy vessel SS Port Hunter when it was attacked by a U Boat west of Madeira.
At 01.47 hours on 12 July 1942 the Port Hunter (Master John Bentham Bradley), dispersed from convoy OS-33 at 11.00 hours on 11 July, was struck on the port side in #2 hold by one of two torpedoes from the German submarine U-582 about 370 miles west-southwest of Madeira. The ship had been missed by a first spread of two torpedoes at 01.15 hours. The torpedo ignited the cargo of ammunition and the vessel disappeared after several heavy detonations, which were seen as flashes at the horizon by other ships of the dispersed convoy. A lot of debris was blown into the air and hailed down on the nearby U-boat, forcing it to dive immediately. In the meantime, the ship listed heavily to port and sank within two minutes. The motor launch HMNZS ML-1090 was lost with the vessel. When the U-boat surfaced again after 20 minutes, only burning fuel oil and wreckage were spotted at the sinking position. At daylight, the Germans examined U-582 and discovered that the net deflector had been torn away when hit by a side plate of the steamer, which was found on deck together with parts of guns and ammunition and an anchor chain hanging over both sides. The falling debris had ruptured the deck at several places and opened leaks in a fuel tank, causing a trail of oil for a while.
The master, 68 crew members, 14 gunners and five passengers were lost. Three crew members sleeping on deck had been blown into the water and clung to wreckage of the motor launch until they were picked up at about 08.30 hours by HMS Rother (K 224) (Cdr R.V.E. Case, DSC and Bar, RD, RNR) after being spotted by the British steam merchant City of Windsor from the same convoy. | Denning, Vivian Jack (I53869)

W.K. RODWAY - On Wednesday, April 10, 1895 (Died 8 April 1895) we were call-ed upon to lay the mortal remains of our most highly esteemed friend, W. K. Rodway, in their final resting place.
The brief services at his late home were con-ducted by the pastor of the Congregational church, Rev. N. L. Burton, assisted by some of his friends who sang appropriate selections. The scripture read was the 14th chapter of the Gospel by St. John, chosen for the occasion by Mr. Rodway himself after he was told by his physician that he could not recover.
He said that chapter comforted him and he called the attention of his loved ones to it in hope that they would find comfort there in their coming bereavement. One looking upon the peaceful face in the casket and remembering the expressions of pain which so often were seen upon his face during the last days of the fear-ful malady which terminated his mortal life, could hardly refrain from thoughts like that expressed in the 3d verse of this chapter, "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also."
In the weary hours of his last sickness, the lessons taught him in childhood in his Christian home came clearly to his memory, and his acceptance of the salvation of the Gospel was clear and unquestioning.
In my last conversation with him he told me that he had hoped to be permitted to enter the covenant of the church of Christ before be was called away, but that it did not seem to be God's will that he should. But said he, "I have the promise of Christ, and that is enough."
His final moments were so peaceful that to those who watched beside him he seemed literally to fulfill the favorite expression of the early Christians and fall asleep.
After a brief service at the house the Modern Woodmen and the members of the Masonic order, each of which he was a member, conducted his remains to the cemetery, whither he was followed by a large concourse of his grief stricken friends, and with the appropriate and impressive rituals of their orders laid him to his final rest.
I esteem it a privilege to supplement the eminently just statement of last week with these words of appreciation, with the hope that they may tend to comfort , those most sorely bereaved by his early death. | Rodway, William Knibb (I585)

William Lear died 20 April 1897 at the Tyning Colliery at the age of 36. Fatally injured by a charge of dynamite upon his returning to ignite it after a charge of powder had gone off. The flame from the powder shot ignited the fuse and thus caused the accident. He died the following day. This consequently is really due to powder although actually caused by an explosion of dynamite
