Condolences to the family of Judge Lynch. Many years ago, Mr. Lynch was the professor for business related classes I had at Moraine. His presentations were always beneficial, as well as enjoyable. A great teacher.

Goodbye to an old friend and classmate! Both Dan and I graduated from Christ the King School in 1957! He was always a "good guy and fun to be with", as I remember. My wife, Dolores, met him the first time our 50th reunion back in 2007. We walked the old church and school together. This brought back may great moments! May God bless him and his family!

I'm sincerely sorry at the news of Judge Lynch's passing. As he was the last of my father's cousins, it is especially sad. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in eternal peace.

Many years ago, actually many many years ago when our friend Mike Clancy was in town for the Mac race, Dan and I visited Mike aboard the sailboat he was captaining at Monroe Harbor ( I recall it was the Inferno). Accompanying our pre dinner cocktails were some "special" brownies baked by Clancy's girl friend. Dan really loved those brownies, not knowing how "special" they were. We then found our way to Giordano's, gorged our laughing faces with a deep dish pizza, rediscovered the Inferno, spent the night aboard, and went to our jobs in the morning looking like street people. Rest in peace Dan, it was a privilege being your friend.

What a friendly guy he was that would do anything for people in need. I remember in our early years as attorneys he helped settle a case I had representing a large corporation regarding a city ordinance that we objected to. It looks like you two raised a wonderful family and I will pray for you all. God bless you,

I have known Dan since our time at Mendel H.., through our time as Circuit Court Judges. What defined Dan was his love of people and life. He had a sense of humor that approached joy. The world is a colder place without his warmth.
