Judy, I was really sorry to hear of Lynn's passing. He seemed to be doing so much better at our last mini-class reunion in Newport a few months back. Always considered him a friend even though our paths didn't cross very often since '63. Rest in the arms of Jesus, Lynn.

So sorry to here of Lynn's passing.
Looking back on my childhood, growing up with Lynn was always interesting. Like in jr. hi, when we all saw two legs go by the classroom window. Lynn going down the hall walking on his hands! I could go on and on. Needless to say, he will be missed by all.
My love and prayers to the entire family.
Jimmy and Donna
