Dad never met a " stranger ", He would speak to just about anyone. He loved his grandchildren. He may have been a little strict , but I'm grateful for that. He knew the meaning of sacrifice , as he would do without so that others could.

I have fond memories of Uncle Lynn. He was a strong and funny man. He would lift me up and stuff me between the ceiling and my dresser.  I would be stuck there till he decided to get me down. My thoughts and prayers go out to the fsmily.

Uncle Lynn always seemed bigger than life to me when I was little.  He was big and strong and funny.  When I got older, I found him all those things still, but also kind, observant and insightful. He always made me feel welcome no matter how long it had been between visits.
