Not sure what to say?

Without RRL there would have been no 57 year broadcast career or me known as Cary J. Hahn. Bob was our youth choir director and First Baptist and he was a "radio star". He always kept us laughing. In August of 1964 my friend Doug Lane and I job shadowed Bob for a day at KXOK..."our station". I was impressed. So a little over a year later when I went to Lindenwood College, I spent too much time at radio station KCLC...or was it really too much time? I enjoyed that more than almost...

It was such a thrill to end up working with one of the premier radio voices of my youth. I always looked forward to the recording sessions when Bob served as announcer for lots of radio ads when I worked at ad agencies. He was a total professional, but he also had such a great attitude about having fun in life. He brought my writing partner and me into the Gridiron Club shows when he was directing. More fun times and lots of irreverence from Bob. Thanks, Bob for creating memories that...

My dad, Rudy Ruzicka, also worked as a radio engineer at KXOK in the 60's and I remember him mentioning Bob Lynn when I was a young girl (along with people like Dick Fatherly and Johnny Rabbit). Like Bob, my dad also moved to KMOX, and retired from radio engineering after 19 years there.

Stopped by KXOK late at night to check on Bob. Was on PD then..Great person.

I had the opportunity to work with Robert R. while we worked on the Purina meetings. He was so much fun to work with. I grew up listening to Robert R. Lynn. Blessings and peace to the family at this time of loss.

KLynn, What a wonderful tribute to your dad. I recall many moments of laughter as you shared stories about him. It is hard to lose a parent. I am thinking of you in prayer. May the support of Brad and your fur babies bring you comfort. Peace be with you

An iconic hall of fame media legend. So very sorry for your loss as well as our loss.

Best voice in St. Louis radio! Always liked hearing him.

Like so many young people in St. Louis, I listened to KXOK growing up. However, I was one of the few people who were as interested in the newspeople as they were in the deejays. Robert R. Lynn had not only a distinctive voice, but a wry sense of humor that made itself known in every newscast. In 1972-73, I was pleasantly surprised to discover he was a broadcast journalism teacher at what is now Lindenwood University! It was one of my favorite college courses--and this then-fledgling...
