Dear Jean and Family –

Jack was an important influence in my life. As individuals, we are each a patchwork quilt made up of pieces of the fine people who were impacted our lives. Jack was a mentor to me and one of the kindest gentlemen I ever knew. A big piece of Jack and the values he instilled into me, lives on today in everything I do. He is part of my quilt. All my memories are fond. The entire Lynch family is in our thoughts and prayers. He was a great man.

To the entire Lynch family: Very saddened to hear the news about Jack passing away.
When I think back about my early youth days in South Holland and our
old neighborhood he always comes to mind. He was a good friend for many years to my parents, and will be missed.
God bless your family and keep everyone strong at a time like this.

Jack was a humble man with simple values many find hard to attain. A devoted husband to Jean, loving father to his children and adoring grandfather to his grandchildren. What a legacy he left! Jack was a leader, a mentor and a loyal friend. We were blessed with his presence and better for having known him.
