I am saddened by the loss of Lynn. He and Kirk were always fun to be around, both as a kids in elementary school or later on through the years. I also remember him being a top flight mechanic. His family will miss him greatly, but can take solace in the good life reflected in his obituary. Lynn loved the right people and things in his life.
