I had the fortune and pleasure of working with Lynn on many projects over the last 25 years. Not only was Lynn brilliant but he was one of the kindest people I have known. He will be sorely missed.

We are so saddened by the loss of our dear Brother Smith. He was truly one of the kindest and most righteous men we have ever met. When we first moved to Texas, Brother and Sister Smith were the first from Sherman Second Ward to come and visit us and to welcome us. No small feat since they drove about 60 miles round trip to make the visit. He was always there to serve and to help. Darlene, we love you and you are in our prayers. You are so blessed to have your strong faith and your family with you. These blessings will see you through. We miss you all so much. There isn't a day that goes by that we don't think of all of our friends in Sherman II.

My heart breaks for his wife and children, and mother, Florence. I was just visiting Florence a month ago, and Lynn was in town. [Florence is a cousin to my mother, Geneve Poulsen Robinson.]
This came as such a shock. But knowing the family, they will trust in their Savior to get them through this and will see the positive in it.
My deepest condolences to the family. I love you and will be praying for you.

It's hard for me to grasp that he has passed. When we moved to Collinsville TX Lynn and family were among the first to meet and greet us. I always believe he walked on water by the way he conducted himself and showed love to all. He is truly one of a kind. I love him and family and my heart goes out to them. Love the Adams's
