So Sorry to hear of Lynn's passing.  
When I first met Lynn, on the first of many fishing trips to Canada with him and his brothers, many years ago I knew we would become good friends.  He was always laughing, smiling and having a great time whether we were catching fish or not. He knew the importance of spending time with family and friends. I cherish the memories we shared and I am a better man having known him.

So sorry to hear of Lynn's passing. I work with him at the middle school
He always had a smile on his face
We always joked with each other. I knew he didn't like snow
I would make snowflakes and cover his office with them.
He will be truly missed.

Lynn will always hold a special place in our hearts.  He was such a kind and caring person.  Lynn had a smile and a laugh we will always remember.  He loved telling stories about how much he adored his family, to driving his tractor in the parade, to getting an egg to stand on end during the Vernal Equinox.  Lynn took pride in his job and loved being around the kids at the middle school.  We will all miss him.  Our hearts and prayers go out to all of you.

I am so sorry to hear of Lynn's passing. We worked together many years at both the old and the new middle schools. Lynn was quite the conversationalist on just about any topic.  He was fun, ornery, and always wore a smile. Lynn could fix anything and took great pride in his work.  He will surely be missed.
