Herbert Linn Obituary
Herbert was born on November 9, 1930, in Manhattan, KS to his parents John Linn and Mildred (Bachelor) Linn. He was an Army veteran of the Korean War and was commended for his bravery in the Battle of Pork Chop Hill. A graduate of the University of Kansas, he worked as an Aeronautical Engineer at Lockheed Martin for 30 years. Herbert enjoyed traveling with his wife of 64 years, Dorothy Linn, on cruises and with the Apollo RV club, visiting 49 states and Canada. After retiring in 1990, he became an accomplished woodworker who enjoyed challenging himself with increasingly complex projects.
He is survived by a daughter: Denise Picard of Winter Garden, FL; a son: Chris Linn of Asheville, NC; and two grandchildren: Jessica and Scott Picard. In accordance with his wishes, there will not be a public memorial service.
The Linn family would like to extend their gratitude to Waterman Village and Cornerstone Hospice and Palliative Care Center for their outstanding care. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Cornerstone Hospice https://donate.cshospice.org.

I have known Herb for over 50 years. Our families camped with Holiday Rambler RV Club, we played cards, enjoyed Creative Cuisine Cooking group and just had fun times together. He took up carving and got to be quite the Master of turning a stick into a beautiful piece. Sure will miss him.
