Lynn met his wife, Donna Burgi, while he was teaching at an elementary school in Salt Lake City. They were married April 23, 1954 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They had four sons. The family moved to Santa Maria, California in 1960 where Lynn worked as a social worker for schools and foster families in Santa Barbara County. The family moved to Layton, Utah in 1976. Lynn worked at the VA Hospital in SLC until he retired. Lynn and Donna did name extraction for the Church for several years and hosted family members for college and visits to air shows at Hill Field Air Base. During the summers you could count on homemade ice cream and sliced watermelon when you visited the Utah Chadwicks. Lynn loved to play both tennis and table tennis. He also enjoyed gardening, riding bikes, and painting.
