Lynn was such an important part of our family and will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace, Lynn. It was wonderful meeting Lisa, Bryce and Brett. I feel like my family grew today. God Bless you all during this time.

Lynn was a well-liked and respected member of our staff at Jackson-Hirsh. He was smart, capable, and thoughtful toward others. After he retired he used to come into the office once or twice a year. He will be missed.

Lynn was always the most gracious host/cook/conversationalist and generous person. He was a long time partner to Bob, spoke so often of his family in Las Vegas, was most proud of his son's becoming a judge. His knowledge of movies paralleled no one, had a fantastic recall.
He is missed and will be fondly remembered for a very long time. My condolences to his family, to Bob. So sorry I cannot make it to the memorial Saturday as have a class.

"Gone home". By Ila Mae Gutzman

Gone home through heaven's light
Into waiting arms,
Gone home to Godly parents
Their royal thrones on high.
Our brother has gone home to
Our fathers house
Abide forever more.

I grew up in Pocatello, Idaho and noticed your loved one was born there. I can only share my poetry. Sister gutzman

I have many fond memories of Lynn and Bob hosting our lunch group. They were most gracious hosts, and Lynn a fine cook. The conversation was lively and included talk of Broadway, Hollywood, and politics. Lynn was always counted on to remember the name of some long ago Hollywood star. He was very fond of his family. My condolences to them and to Bob. Ken Frank
