I had the privilege of working with Lynn for 20+ years at the Canandaigua v.a. you couldn't ask for a better team member or friend. Sorry for your loss Debbie and family! I have thought of him many times and miss working with him doing carpentry and of course an occasional beer...luvya buddy R.I.P. Mark
