Lynn was a wonderful person with a beautiful soul, and he had compassion for all with whom he came in contact. Ouachita Parish will miss him as will I.

So sorry to hear about Lynn. I worked with him when the JTPA office partnered with the La Workforce Commission/unemployment office. Lynn would use a desk in my room when he would come in to the office when we were on N 18th. Enjoyed talking to him. He was a nice guy and very talented. I will keep his family in my prayers.
