"I met Lynn in 2000 was good buddy's with his nephew Brian. Spent many weekends on lake panorama with Lynn Brian and other close friends. I just found out about Lynn's passing an hour a ago. Unbelievable. My memories of Lynn are crazy days of him driving the boat like a maniac while pulling two tubes playing battle tubes.(two tubes each person trying to knock the other off) Lynn was an amazing man he has and will be missed. RIP stud- sincerely Zach Rule"
