Lynn was such a wonderful caring person. When he found out my husband had cancer he told me he understood and if I ever needed to talk he was there. My husband really liked him when he met him and couldn't wait to"treat" him to lunch next time. Unfortunately that didn't happen, my husband passed in 2017 and didn't have an opportunity to see Lynn again

My heartfelt sympathies to the family for their loss. During this difficult time may you take some comfort from the words found at 1 Peter 5:6,7
