Hello Ms. Pauline. I'm also a grand-daughter of Antoinette (Uncle James's oldest sister). I remember talking to Uncle James throught out the years and finally had the opportunity to meet him at my grandmothers funeral. We stayed in touch since then and I became very fond of him. I wish I had more time with him. He was always calling to check on me and the kids or to just say hello. His jokes brightened up some the dark days. We were planning to visit him this summer. I was so looking forward to seeing him again and meeting you. I am very sorry about your loss and my prayers are with you and your family. I will miss talking with him and listening to his stories and jokes. My family sends thier regards and I truely wish you the best in your time of healing.

Hello Pauline. I am the grand-daughter of Antoinette Clausen Lynch (Uncle Jame sister--who resided in Poughkeepsie, NY). His sister Antoinette passed away on April 7, 2005. My Uncle James attended her funeral, and he became very close to myself and other family members in the past 5 years. My heart was sadden and broken by the passing of Uncle James. I have so many fond memories of him, and how he use to make me and the family laugh. The family will truly miss his weekly calls, as well as, his sense of humor. The Lynch family gives their love and blessings during this time.

I have so many wonderful memories of Uncle James that I will never forget; he has truly been an inspiration in my life and has always shared his life experiences to make my life less challenging for me. I will miss his regular calls to me in NY to chit-chat about everything and anything. I will keep his memories alive forever.

Pauline, I was sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. Words, however kind, can't mend your heartache: but those who care and share your loss wish you comfort and peace of mind. May you find strength in the love of family and in the warm embrace of friends.

Pauline, I had the pleasure of working with Jim several years ago at Drug Fair. The advise and kindness he gave me as a young man is something I will always remember. My prayers will be with you.
