Mark "Festus" Lynch

Mark Lynch Family:
I am a Barber at "Dan's Barber Shop". Very sorry to hear of Mark's passing. Mark stopped in for beard trims about once a month. I had good conversations with Mark about guns and his competition shooting. We will miss him!

We are shocked & terribly sorry to learn today of Mark's passing. He was a really big part of my life in our early years in LeSueur & Mankato. We had great times together as we were growing up, harassing our parents and each other as our families picniced at Sibley Park in Mankato & at lakes nearby. We both joined the Navy about the same time & served on aircraft carriers based in Norfolk during the Vietnam era. Mark's mom, Mariam West, met Mark's dad, Joe, after the war. Joe was in the US Army in Europe--was shot & captured by the Germans. Mariam became secretary to the President of Green Giant, eventually retiring from Pillsbury, & lived in St. Peter for many years. Mark's grandmother, who cared for him as a youngster, came over from Norway when she was four, and I believe Joe's parents were from Ireland.

Mark has many other relatives in the Hollister Family who reside in several cities around the State.

Ralphie, we are so sorry for your loss. Mark was such an amazing man and will be greatly missed. We love you.

Sharon and family, I met you and Mark a few times. It was very sad hearing about Mark. I enjoyed my time visiting with you.
Take care.

Sharon and Family....Sending along
condolences to each of you.
We will miss Mark as a member of our five-cousin, LSHS class of '65 graduate circle. Our heartfelt thoughts are with you in his loss,
Alice Doherty O'Malley-Peterson

Sharon and family, There are simply no words. Oh, my God, we will miss Mark. He touched us as he touched so many other people. He was a true friend, no matter the distance. Take care, my friend.

Sharon,
Sorry about Mark. I hope that knowing that he passed away doing something he loved makes it easier for you.

As a former classmate of Mark and one who shared his passion for Swan Lake and waterfowling, I want to express my sincere condolensces at his unfortunate and untimely passing. While it is likely little or no consolation to his family and loved ones, he did pass away at a place he loved during his favorite season of the year. Mark will be missed by many. You have my sympathy.
