I grew up with Lynn in Perry. I remember him as being a warm, caring person. He was always friendly to us "little brats" and would play Monopoly, Old Maid and other games with us. I can still see him riding his english racer bike past our house, always with a wave and a hello. He and his whole family were a wonderful part of Perry and my neighborhood. I will always have fond memories of him.
