Nancy I was just trying to find you on the Internet when I came across Lynn's obituary. It really saddens me to hear he has passed away. We all had a lot of fun together in Syracuse. St Patrick's Day & tail gating for SU football! Please know Chuck & I have thought of you guys often over the years. Love & prayers. Maggie

I now live near Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and due to rain I didn't go to the big Corvette show there this past weekend. I was checking out out the show on the internet earlier this evening and looking at the C-2 (second generation, 1963-1967) Corvettes and remembered Lynn. He had a sweet car, a 1963 Corvette Sting Ray, split window coupe, torch red. I think he had a 1969 Vette before that. That was the first year of the Sting Ray a description that ended in 1967, and didn't resurface until 2014 with the C-7, seventh generation Corvette. I just ordered one, and I know Lynn would have loved to drive it. He loved his cars back then, and loved his Skippack Farmette too. I miss him!

I just happened to Google Elmo Lynne a moment ago, and was so saddened to learn of his passing. Lynne and I were very good friends and business colleagues in the 1970s when we both sold mainframe computer systems for Burroughs Corporation. I visited him once after he moved to New York, but sadly lost touch after that. He was kind and fun and funny. I've missed him for years and miss him now. Jeremy and Erin, remember all the good times.

Nancy - It has been so many years since I have seen you. Joanne was hoping that you could have made it back to NY when Peter and I were back recently. At that time, she shared with me that Lynn was in the hospital. I am SO SORRY to hear of Lynn's passing. My heart goes out to you and your children during this difficult time. I will always remember Lynn's funny sense of humor and quick wit. I know he loved you very much. May you find comfort in memories of the precious time you shared together. Sharon Tarzia

My dear brother,

I will miss you deeply. Especially your phone calls. I'd always have a smile on my face after I hung up the phone. How wonderful it was to have spent last Christmas with you and Nancy! I have so many memories to cherish. I know Dave was waiting to greet his "Lil Buddy" .
