Jill, Dave and family. I was saddened to hear of the passing of Lynn. He always made it point when he saw me to ask if I remembered him and of course I did and then he always made a point to talk to me. He was truly a friendly man and sincere in his conversations with me. Know that your family is in Bonnie and my prayers and ask the Lords blessings to give you strength at this time and in the future. With love and sympathy, Larry and Bonnie Clayton

Karen and I are so sorry to hear of Uncle Lynn's passing. Lynn was always super friendly and welcoming. I always enjoyed chatting with him about cars and trucks. I remember many great family reunions and snowmobiling in Preston. Thanks Lynn. Lynn and Lorraine raised a fine family who are a great legacy.
