"Pam, I am very sorry for your loss. I just met Lynn a few weeks ago while I was out at Fox Products speaking with the employees. It didn't take long to see that Lynn was a dedicated, hardworking person who loved his job, and that he was very well liked and respected by his coworkers. -Colin Zwiebel"

"I met Lynn 5 years ago when I became hired in at Fox Products. He was very kind and always going above and beyond what was required of him. Once he was employed at Fox north, I didn't get to visit with him much. I did get to visit with him a few weeks ago at our company fall dinner. We chatted about life and family. He had a big smile on his face when he spoke of his grandchildren. He was a special person, and my heart is with all of you as you mourn his loss! Del Schmittler "
