To the Bradford Family It was a privilege to speak with you and share my memories of Lynn. The stories of Camp Urland, The Little Dodge Valiant. The GTO. Lynn had a hook shot that put the basketball in the hoop every time. Lynn had a never quit attitude. When he was working on his Eagle Scout Project, Lynn would come by pick me up and a few other Scouts up and off we went. At Camp Urland, Lynn had all us staff members cleaning the chow hall floor till it was clean enough to eat off. And he mopped also. Loosing Lynn is like loosing a brother. My condolences to the family at the time of your loss. Fly in Peace Lynn Bill Van Benthuysen.

With sadness I write this note. Lynn will be missed by many of his work companions. I worked with Lynn for last 4 Year’s of his career. The one thing that you could count on everyday was a smile and a laugh even on the worst of days. It was clear that Lynn was dedicated to his family as most days there was a story about one of his family members. He will be missed. Kit Muise

All of us in the Brown family have very fond memories of Lynn. He was funny, easy going and benevolent. Lynn was a staple in our home and around as we were in high school and in our adult years. Lynn was at family functions and was just a part of our lives. Lynn came with Charlie...they were often times a "package deal". When there was one, there was the other. My tribute would be a celebration in my eyes of two wonderful men who kept alive a 45 year best "friendship". Most people in life don't get that kind of time with another human being unless they are your own sibling. It is an amazing testimony of the character of the both of them, because they did think alike and knew each other inside and out. . Lynn will be missed, but thought of in the most wonderful ways as we get by without him.
