Beverly,
I was sorry to hear of Lynn's passing. The last time I had a chance to talk with Lynn was when we both found ourselves sitting in the waiting room for physical therapy and at the time he was telling me of the challenges he had ahead. His outlook was positive and he shared how appreciative he was of the life he had lead. I know my dad, Daryl Dunn, enjoyed having Lynn as a friend and working at Cornell around the same time.
My family's thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Sincerely, Deena (Dunn) Haines

Condolences to Bev and Lynn's entire family. I had the privilege of working with Lynn for almost 30 years.
He was a great guy, fantastic electrician and someone I always respected in every aspect of his life.
Some of my fondest memories of Cornell was bowling with Lynn and Frank Nagy in the old three man Cornell League at Helen 'Newman in the early 1970's.
I remember all the time he spent on the Dryden VFW when they built it and the Sampson Memorial. Even after he retired he would stop by to borrow tools to work on the Air Force Vets project.
I never heard any one say a bad word about Lynn, think about that!
