Dear Naomi and family, Our earth lost a great soul with Bob having experienced his heaven day. What a loss! To you Naomi the loss is huge. What a partner, supporter, companion, husband, dad and granddad he was over the years. May you have an easy transition to this change. We who knew Bob are so privileged. Peace, Beth Unger

Your loss, your sorrow is shared by Don and me. A true gentleman and scholar and a dear friend. We will miss him. To his family , our deepest sympathy.

It is with great sadness that we heard of the passing of Dr. Lynn. As the current dean of the K-State College of Business, I well understand the exceptional work of Dr. Lynn in attaining accreditation for the College of Business. It was a great accomplishment to which we owe our most sincere appreciation. He laid a solid foundation for the future that the college enjoys today. On behalf of the K-State College of Business, please accept our condolences on Dr. Lynn's passing.

I was honored to know Bob and Naomi at KSU where our daughters were best friends and we attended church together. Bob always had a wonderful sense of humor and of self. He was truly a gentle man, and his unyielding support of all his “girls” is a wonderful example to all us males. Rest in peace, Bob ❤

Dear Naomi and daughters; I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your husband and father. He like you Naomi contributed so much to all of us here in Manhattan and to where ever he went. May peace engulf all of you as you adjust to an earth without Bob. Prayers for all of you. Beth Unger

Clearly the commitment to serving his family, community, and country lives on through his children and grandchildren. A living remembrance. Blessings upon you all at this difficult time.

Bob was an inspiration to me. I'll never forget the kindness and support he gave me as I moved into a leadership role in Rotary. Without his support and encouragement I would not have succeeded. Thank you Bob and may we meet again. My condolences to you Naomi and may you & your family find peace in his loving memories.
