I'm very sorry for your loss especially Margo and Lynn's adult children:Chris,Wellyn and Amy Ludlow! I loved and miss Lynn too! May he rest in peace and always be remembered for the great person he was! Love always, Jacquelyn M Hunn.

Lynn was a charming man. I will always remember Lynn singing with his mandolin.

As an SF journalism student 1976-1980, I remember Lynn as one of the department stalwarts. He was great. He mentored so many of us. We loved and trusted him. He provided mentorship to me after I graduated with my journalism major, meeting up for me at the Chieftan (journalists' pub on 5th and Howard) when I was exploring my paths forward. I'd be sure he bought me a pint, as well. Blessings to Lynn on his passing, and to his family and loved ones.

My deepest condolences and thank you to the family of Lynn Ludlow. You made a big difference is so many lives. I am so honored to have been your student and friend. The world will miss you. I will miss you.

Dear Margo, Kenny, Kevin and family, Our hearts are with you as you remember your beloved Lynn. He lived a truly amazing life and contributed to so many others. Peacefully and with affection ~ ~ Kevin and Barbara, San Francisco, Santa Cruz

Rest in sweet peace, Lynn.

Lynn was one of my two real mentors at SF State, and one of the first real writers to encourage me to become one myself. A great wordsmith and a great teacher. RIP.
