So sad to read of Mr. Lynn's passing. I had him for Seventh grade Algebra, which I barely squeaked by. But he was a great teacher. I remembered struggling in class one day, and I ask him "When are we ever going to use what you are teaching us in our lives? He thought for a moment and said back, "You tell me when you will use this, I do not know what your life will encounter in the future!"
I probably did not grasp what he meant at the time but it was so true! Years later after moving back to Westfield, I would see Mr. Lynn working at the Presbyterian church or other functions and he would always have a big smile on his face when greeted. I'm sure he didn't know my name but knew I must have been a student. RIP Mr. Lynn you surely will be missed by many.
I’m so sorry to hear of Hanks passing. He and my husband (Jeff) shared a love of wrestling and their experiences as coaches prompted many conversations. We always enjoyed time with Hank and Barb and I know they are together again, bragging to all who will listen about the family they were so proud of. RIP, Hank. You will forever be in the heats of family and friends.
