Leo A. Link, 81, of Dubuque died peacefully at home on Friday, February 12, 2016 surrounded by his family after a courageous battle with cancer. Mass of Christian Burial will be 10 a.m. Tuesday at Holy Spirit Parish-Holy Ghost Church. Burial will be in Mt.

Leo was born December 3, 1934 in Dubuque, Iowa, son of Leo and Bernice (Stillmunkes) Link, Sr. After graduating from Loras Academy, Leo continued his education going to barber college in Cedar Rapids.

He married Jeanne Benzer on November 19, 1955. He later married Patricia Mahoney on August 19, 2000 at Roseman Bridge in Winterset, Iowa.

Leo was a member of Holy Spirit Parish.
He is survived by his wife, Patricia Link; children, Nancy (Mike) Wagner, Linda (Scott) Glab, Tina (Ken Anderson) Link, Gregory (Gina) Link, Lisa Wood, and Diane Mahoney.
