I am at a loss- Lynn was a remarkably kind, and fun soul. He always made me smile and was genuine when he talked to you. He always made me feel welcome and that he cared about what was going on in your life. I am blessed to have known him even for a short while and know that he will be deeply missed in life and in the Skyline High School family.
Lynn you will be greatly missed great working with you ❤️
I knew Lynn when he was young. He was a wonderful caring young man! In fact he took over the care of the turkey farm from me in dismal hollow. I worked very closely with his grandmother Mrs Anne Taylor. Or as I called her Mrs t. She was a real character. I loved her like my own grandmother she taught me everything I know about raising those crazy turkeys. We used to watch all my children and general hospital together and she would get very involved on what was happening on the shows. Lynn and his brothers. Terry and Bo were my only friends when I accepted the job at the farm on happy creek. I was a 19 year old boy from Harrisonburg va taking on this grand task of running this farm. Without the help of these brothers I would have never made it ! I am so sorry for your loss of Lynn . He was a wonderful person. I am also sorry to hear of bugs passing. He always made me laugh! I should have stayed in touch better . I am now a 67 year old man but I will always remember the times on the farm shared with Mrs t ,bugs, petsey, Bo ,terry and Lynn. I hope someone sees this and reaches out to me Gary miller 540 -686-6005
