So very sorry for Lynn’s Family. Lynn was in my mind a man I looked up to and depended on many times. We spend many days together working and as well sharing life struggles and happiest. The time I was honored to have Lynn in my life as well as part of my family, I will hold close. We will have a large void that one man had filled for so many years.
