I know this entry comes late but I just found out about the death of Mr. Lynch last night. He had many dear friends in the Kansas City area and I will always remember Mr. Lynch as a funny, thoughtful and caring man. I was good friends with his two sons in high school and college and will always carry fond memories of their father.

Remebering Charles as a witty, charming and generous host. My husband and I visited Charles and Joyce whilst on a trip to spend time with my sister in law Isobel Lueck and the family.

My thoughts and prayers are with Joyce, the children and grandchildren.

Joyce and family,

I knew Charles later in his life, as the guy that married my aunt. I saw them very happy, and he was clearly a loving husband. His family illustrates his dedication and success as a father. As I got to know Charles, I felt honored to be witness to his wit and unique perspective, which stayed to the end. I love my family for its rich character, but I have to admit the addition of Charles gave us an example of sophistication and class we will not replace.

At a time like this, it may be hard to find the memories you need to comfort you. But they are there and when you find them, may their love bring you peace. Also, Romans 15:4 says "...and through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope."
