Betty,

So sorry to hear of your husbands passing. I remember your daily calls to him when we worked at Rubloff.

January 13, 2015

To the family of Pat Lynch, but especially to Betty, my deepest condolences. Pat was one of a kind. A professional in his business life, a mentor to me and others, and a friend. I knew him to be deeply faithful both in his business and personal friendships, and deeply committed to his faith in God. I have so many good memories of Pat, as everywhere Pat went, there was fun and laughter. I always looked forward to the times we shared in Ballybunion, and to each and every time we met in Alaska, or anywhere else. As I recall my times with Pat, it will always be with a smile. I feel assured that I am not alone.

Sincerely, Steve Hagedorn, Anchorage, Alaska
