Susan, just learned of Linden's passing today from Jeff Phillips who was a year behind us in school and played baseball with us in High School. So sorry to hear this, Linden was a favorite friend in High School and I always enjoyed being around him. Best to you and your family.

Linden was simply the 'best the best!' I was blessed to have him as my next door neighbor for a large portion of my life. I never knew what was going to come out of his mouth, but it always made me laugh. He always had a smile on his face and a sassy comment to share. He fixed multiple things for me; cars, lawnmowers, windows, encouraged me, braided my hair, gave me a hard time. His presence out back in his garage (at mom's ) was always a welcomed comfort. He helped mom numerous times too. That was just Linden. I have loved hearing stories about him over the years when people found out he was my neighbor. I couldn't believe he sold jewelry at one time! Lol. I can't fathom not seeing him again. So thankful mom took a picture of us last summer and I was able to hug him our last visit. I am so so sorry for your loss, Susie, Derek, Geoff and Rylee. You are loved. Praying for all of you. Thanks for sharing your husband, dad and grandpa. He will be and already is greatly missed.
