John and I were very sad to hear of Lynn's passing. You have both been good friends to us for many years. I have many fond memories of him bringing you roses through the drive up of the bank, going on bank trips with and without our families, going to dinner with you guys and of course the family weddings. Lynn was a great guy with a lot of quiet strength. His passing is a great loss to his family and our veterans, whom he proudly supported. He is a peace now with no more pain and no more suffering. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Please let us know if you need anything.

We are so sorry for your loss. We remember Lynn with great fondness. Have memories of driving up the hill to see him out working in the yard on something. Always put a smile on our faces.
Praying God's peace and comfort on you at this time.
Much love,
Larry & Trish
