Awesome memories of your family and farm on Ramsey St. Our bus stop, sledding the river bank and always watching /listening for the trucks to return home – could always tell “Grandma” (1962 Kenworth) was coming down the road! Peace be with you all!! Lynn will always be remembered!

I’m sorry to hear Lynn passed. I can’t think of anyone who has made me laugh or cringe as much as Lynn did.
Good bye Lynn, say Hi to Larry and Lyle for me.

I grew up with Lynn as a neighbor to the bus garage my whole life. Always enjoyed hearing his stories and spent some time over at his place feeding the horses and Jack the jackass. I also knew Larry and he let me drive my first semi (Mack truck of course). Our thoughts & prayers are with you.
Thoughts and prayers to the entire family. Lynn will always be remembered by our family
Our Sympathy to all of Lynn’s Family — So sorry to hear of your loss — Gods Blessings to all of you–

Lynn was a friend and taught me how to drive truck (Grandma) at age 15. He always helped my Dad, Bill and myself anytime we would ask. I also remember his dog Gomer that rode with him years ago. Lynn will be missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the family. – Gil and Connie Dahlberg
