Mrs. Davis, Buck, Jim, and Matt,
I was deeply saddened about the news of T. Lynn. He was very special to so many people! The 'auction world' won't be the same ever again. I remember that Dad bought all our cars - mom, me, and my 2 brothers - from T. Lynn. Dad and T. Lynn had a special bond and I have fond memories of T. Lynn's visits with my Dad. I hope you find peace and comfort in knowing that T. Lynn touched the lives of everyone he met.
Love to you all and T. Lynn, too,
Marcia
