I still fondly recall family visits with "Uncle Ed" back in the 1950´s. They invariably put a smile on everyone´s face, as he invariably had a laugh and a kind word for everyone - especially us young ones. Both an inspiration and delightful and caring man.

Mr. Lynch was a true gentleman. He always wore a smile, especially when hanging out with my Dad and other parents in Foley Drive circle! (I still say I need to check the kids when I have to leave the room!) Our deepest sympathies go to the entire Lynch family.
