I was so sorry to hear of your great loss. Mr. Linn caught my interest in biology and inspired my teaching of science. May your family find peace and comfort with the assurance of his heavenly home.

Mr Linn impacted me forever beginning in Earth Science. A transfer from public school I had only been taught evolution as fact. Imagine my surprise to learn God created the world and me....from my new science teacher! Four years of knowing him- thats Gods grace!
God be so evidently near you all.

I was doubly blessed to have had Dick as a teacher and coach and later as a colleague and friend. He was a rock of a man. Steady, dependable, reliable and caring. He death will be a loss to the whole Cleveland Lutheran Community.

Nixie and family, Jane and I send our sympathy in Dick' passing. Moving to a new High School between the Junior and Senior year is never easy and when my father came to Lutheran High, having Dick Linn as a classmate made my transition much easier. In the following years, working on our class reunions(54)with Dick are things I will always remember. God Bless your family.
