Tributes

I am so sorry for your loss. My Dad Neil Wolfe went to high school with Lynn at Wolf Lake. I remember we visited Lynn and his family on the island of Lanai in Hawaii when Lynn operated the Dole Pineapple plantation there. My Dad was stationed at Hickam Air Force Base on Oahu Hawaii at the time. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time but I know Lynn and my Dad are in heaven telling jokes and talking about memories they share. God Bless you!
Ken Wolfe - Family Friend
Prayers for the family. Lynn was my boss at Mckee for a while. I respected him very much. He was my Superintendent in Quality Assurance department- one of the best Superintendents I've had at McKee. May God comfort you in this difficult time.
