I have been one of his many customers since 1969. My last hair cut was in August before his annual trip to the west coast in September.
In all the 62 years since my first hair cut by Lynn I now realize what kept me coming back for another cut. Lynn would complete the process with a head message that was out of this world. His talent for cutting hair was always exceptional. But what got me back in his chair was that crazy head massage. I am proud to say Lynn was my friend and I will miss him.
