I don't know if anyone else had posted this. I was in touch with Lynn off and on and we sent a lot of private emails. I knew he was fighting the fight with cancer. Lynn was a very fine gentleman, we had many interesting phone conversations last year. I will miss him.

Sorry, no one posted anything. This is indeed shocking. Lynn has been with us for a long time and posted often. Prayers are for him and his family. Thank you for letting us know.

I'm sorry to hear that. I had some interactions with him and he always had helpful things to suggest. Great sense of humour as well.

Thoughts and prayers go out to his family. I believe he was the one who guided me here from the Z.

With any luck, we'll run into him on the other side... We will all make that journey. It's hardest for those we leave behind.

Thanks for the information Charlie.
So sad to hear of his passing, our sincere condolences to his family.
I believe his name was one of the earliest I can remember when I joined, I always enjoyed reading his short insightful posts.
RIP Lynn
