In retirement, Lynn enjoyed being actively involved with his church, driving bus for the Ukiah Senior Center, managing his rentals, and working on and collecting classic cars. He loved his Lord and his family, and his dogs. He also loved feeding and watching the wild birds and squirrels that visited his backyard. He will always be remembered for his big heart and willingness to help people.
