Throughout his life he enjoyed old country folk songs, horseback riding, hunting, practical joking, spontaneous road trips with his wife and kids, fishing, fishing…and more fishing, and last but not least fishing.

I wish I had made it up one more time to see Uncle Lynn before he left this world. What a great guy, huh?! I loved him very much, and his fun stories. My heart will be with you on the 18th!
