Dear Lynn's Family,

I didn't know any of the family members but I did know Lynn. I served for three years at the care center and it was a joy to get to know Lynn. He was always kind and gentle and nice to be around. The highlight of the three there ar the care center was the day Lynn shaved, got a hair cut, but on some fancy clothes and waited at the front door of the care center for the church workers to arrive. When I got to the door, he opened so whide and had the nicest grin on his face. It made my day and added a needed sparkle to my life. He was always polite when he asked for help with the sacrament and we were always willing to do what we could for him. He was truly an asset to the Care Center and when we were close to hom it made us feel ike a beautiful spring day. He will be greatly missed. He was the best guy ever. Marilyn Poulson, Church worker at the Care Center

To Lynn's family: Sorry to hear about Lynn's death. I really enjoyed his wonderful personality. He was so highly intelligent and truly grieved for not being able to complete his education, work in his field, get married or have children. He shared with me how Clozaril changed his life and how grateful he was to have many years of quality after taking it. He was loved by all at Canyon Rim. I was fortunate to have the privilege of taking care of his medications over the past 2 1/2 years. I just wish I would have been able to say "good-bye." May you find comfort in this time of his passing. I have been out of town and just learned. Marilyn Little

Clark and I are sorry to hear of Lynn's death. Clark's former roommate, Bob Ingersoll, was Lynn's roommate at the care center for some time. Lynn was a special friend to Bob at a difficult time in his life. He was always friendly to us and even when he did not feel well, he always greeted us. He always spoke highly of all of you when we visited with him. Our sympathy goes out to you. We are happy he is no longer suffering. Clark and Gayle Gable

My friend forever. I'll miss Lynn so much. Talking about drafting, sketching, religion, and old times. I enjoyed Lynn's stories and appreciated Lynn's support, we could always relate to each other so well. Lynn taught me how to cope with others and supported me when I needed support. A wonderful friend and such a great guy. Lynn touched my life forever.

Lynn was a great guy. It was my privilege and honor to care for him. He was kind, funny, and always concerned for others. We had many wonderful and memorable conversations over the three years that I've known him. He was always gracious and appreciative of others. He will be greatly missed.

Dear family,
We few Zundels in the Willard area are deeply sorry for the loss of Lynn. We never met him, or if we did it was when we were too young to remember. Another family member has gone where we all will be someday...God Bless Him! And God Bless All of YOU! We love you guys! Bob, Dee, Steve, Jack, Monie, Wynn and Rick

Marsha, Elaine, and Shelly,

I have just lost one of my best friends. Lynn accepted my shortcomings, and was always there for me from Ensign Elemetary through East High. We got into our share of mischief, but I always admired him for having the good sense, and intelligence for setting the right priorities. I often looked to him for direction.

I will always have such fond memories of all the time I spent at 360 "G" Street. Your family, especially your mom made me feel welcome in your home.

A lot of time has passed since I last saw him, but he was often in my thoughts. Elaine, I am so glad that I sent you the card last Christmas, and thanks again for letting him know that I was thinking of him.

I'm sorry to hear of Lynn's passing. I fondly remember Lynn's kindness all the way back to when I was first entering scouts growing up in the 2nd Ward. I'll never forget Lynn going out of his way to make me feel welcomed and comfortable. He truly did have an inherent gift of being kind and loving to others.

My sincere condolenses to the family.
