Jean, Joey, Jeff, Jarrod, Julie and families,

My deepest sympathies. It has been many years since we were all together. Those times are some of my the fondest memories. Although life's forces have taken us apart, please remember your kindnest and grace has given you an loving extended family. Oh, the stories we could tell - batting ( well actually bunting) practice in the living room - to Joey getting "lit up" at USF in the JC Allstar game - to Steely Dan Pretzel Logic on the way to WWF wrestling with Nilo Menendez. Those will never fade.

Hope to see you soon.

Willy

Every time I think of Joe I will smile and so will everyone who ever knew him. I miss our daily conversation and I'll miss him on the golf course. All of us were truly blessed to have known such a wonderful man. I wish you and the entire Lynch family the very best as life marches forward.

My deepest sympathy to you all. I was very saddened to hear of Joe's sudden death-- you are in my thoughts. Since the news I have been thinking about all the many fun and happy times our families had together. One memory of Joe I have was when I was in 6th grade and missed my bus to school. Joe happened to call the house that morning but both of my parents were already at work. Before I knew it he was at the house and drove me the 30 min to school. That is how I will remember Joe. My love to you all, Mariruth

I'm so glad I had the chance to work with Joe over the years at FCC. I'm going to miss my weekly phone conversations with him. Joe always had a story for me and would always bring a smile to my face! He would always greet me with a hug when he was in town and would light up any room he walked into. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Lynch family. He will be truly missed. What a great friend and person!

Dear Jean and kids, I have shared so many times with you and your family- probably the most unique being Jean and my shaved heads. I told her she didn't have to copy me! I knew Joe thru Jeans eyes and sweathearts they were. I heard many stories of the early years of football days and station wagons and I know he will be missed very much. I too, like Jean -never sleep, so any of you can call me whenever, for whatever- 2am at Denny's with nachos and salads is a favorite. Even though this is a sad time, I am happy to be a part of your circle of friends that can comfort. All our prayers and hugs, Sally and girls, Breawna, Kacey and Amanda

Jean and Kids, I know your dad was a good person and to many a wonderful friend, but he was my oldest brother I Know you all will miss him as I will do too. I'm sure he's up there with my mom and dad and brother Michael looking down on us and watching over all of us. He will always be in our hearts as the rest of the family will too. Jean and kids call if you need me for anything... I love you ALL....

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Lynch family. I cannot put into words how much I will miss speaking to Joe and playing golf every chance we could. I cannot count how many times he looked me in the eyes after one of my errant golf shots and said, "Not good." I always looked forward to seeing his number show up on my phone, as I knew two things would happen. I would learn something and I would laugh about our conversation the rest of the day. Joe is simply one of the best men I ever had the pleasure of knowing, I will miss him greatly and never forget him.

Joe was my mentor. He started me off in my Finance career just out of college back in 1979. Joe taught me the knowledge, skills and what it took to be successfull in my professional life. We remained friends all these years as our career paths changed. He was the best golfer I ever played with. I will miss him dearly. My prayers go out to his family

Dick Pietrucci

September 9, 2009

Jean, Julie, Joey, Jeffrey and Jarrod my prayers are with you guys. Joe was a super guy in so many ways. We had so much fun together at Northside Little League including many road trips including the LL World Series. I remember at a party at my house, Joe was hitting golf balls in my front yard onto the Grahams front yard and never missed. Unfortunately time goes by and distances are created. Now we are in Boise, Idaho but you are all in my heart of hearts. God Bless to all of you. Dick Pietrucci

In honor of Joe... Love, Lisa, J.B. and Brandon

I had the pleasure of knowing Joe for about 8 years at FCC/Cat Financial. Even though I live in Ricmond, VA, I would look forward to seeing Joe at our sales meetings in FL. Joe always livened up our meetings with his laughter and humor. I will miss you.

Joe Bucci

Joe was a good friend and colleague. I looked forward to talking to Joe because we always managed to have a hardy laugh about whatever the subject was. I know he is making someone else laugh right now. My condolences go out to all of his family.

Dearest Jean, Joey, Jarrod and Julie,
Thank you so much for calling me this morning Jean and sharing your loss.
My heart goes out to you and your entire family. I know how difficult and heartbreaking this is for all of you.
I remember when you and I were young Mothers playing in your driveway with all our kids. It seems like yesterday.
I also remember well going to Adventure Island with Joe and what a ham he was...
And how he loved you and his children...
So much has changed over the years.

If there is anything I can do to help you please know that I am here. You have been a dear friend to me for so many years and I cherish our friendship...

Joe will always be with you and your family just as I know J.B. and Brandon are always with me...

I love you Jean,
Lisa {Leah McCoy Soderblom}

Joey Lynch was a great person, avid sportsman and a proud parent. It was my pleasure to know him and have a chance to be around him. While I'm very sad at his passing, I smile when I think about the times we played golf and cavorted at the Proud Lion. My deepest sympathy to his family.

Mary Ayo

September 9, 2009

Jean, Joe was a great Little League Coach for our son. He taught him hard work and no excuses meant having a lot of fun. I credit Joe’s teaching to part of what Andy has achieved today as a Gunnery Sergeant in the Marine Corps. After all these years I can still hear his laugh. Mary, Bob, Bobby, Andy and Johnny Ayo
