George W. Lynch
George was born in Pana, IL on May 2, 1957. He loved growing up in Pana, attending the University of Illinois, and his career at Anheuser-Busch. But he especially loved when his career ended and he was able to spend much more time with family, his wife Linda (Studzinski) Lynch and 3 sons Michael and Samantha (Farmer) Lynch, Daniel and Emily (Walters) Lynch, and Brian Lynch. He loved the St Louis Blues, classic rock, playing cards and Farkle, living on Dunlap Lake, golfing, pickleball, house boating, and socializing with his many friends.
But most of all he loved his family! He deeply loved his parents, Jack and Helen (Einig) Lynch, his siblings Allen Lynch, Helen (Mugg Lynch) and John Sanderfer, Deb (Lynch) and Pete Rann, Patty (Lynch) and Mark Hansen, and Terry Lynch. He was lucky to enjoy a mutually close and loving relationship with all his relatives on the Studzinski side. There was a very special place in his heart for all his many nieces and nephews. His favorite time of year was throwing a huge wild and crazy family reunion every 4th of July.
George is preceded in death by his parents, Linda's parents, and all 5 of his siblings. There will be no traditional funeral or memorial service at this time.
