Mike,
I was fortunate to meet your Dad, Mr. Wynn while we were at JMU. During the brief number of times we shared, he was always a kind and humble man. Please know that you and your family should be proud of the man he was. Please know that you're in our prayers. May God continue bless you with rich memories and give you strength.
