Lynn and I met in 2010 as volunteers working together in the Cardiac Telemetry Unit at Mission Hospital Regional Medical Center, Mission Viejo, CA. We became fast friends. His sunny nature, keen sense of humor and work ethic endeared him to all who were privileged to know him. He always remembered to bring cookies and goodies for all the nurses and staff. That was a tough act to follow for the rest of us! He will never be forgotten and I sure miss him.

Lynn will be missed ! From the first time we met as fraternity members at Western Michigan University until his recent death, I always respected his work ethic and his ability to take on new challenges. From our recent phone conversations, I concluded that he was still working hard and battling his latest challenge; his illness. I am truly sorry that he lost his battle. Tony Belski

I met Lynn through Emma, my dear friend and neighbor. One of the best memories I have is when we got Lynn’s opinion about adopting a dog from the Mission Viejo Animal Rescue shelter where Lynn volunteered many hours. When my granddaughter and I went to choose a dog for me, we found the perfect pooch — a mixture between a Mini Poodle and Dachshund — the same one that Lynn and thought would be perfect!
