RIP my friend. Enjoyed our talks,riding with each other and coffee. You were one of the best
Evidence techs HPD ever had.
Blessings to your family.
I will always cherish the life long memories I have made with my cousin Lynn. My condolences to his family and loved ones.
I miss you Quisto! Along with your being a grumpy old poo, you were one of the sweetest and kindest people I have ever known. Thank you for being my friend. You may have needed me at times but I needed you too. We had many great times together and I’ll never forget them. I can’t believe how often I think of you. ( I notice it more now that you’ve gone Home). I also know that I’ll be seeing you again and we shall dance to some good golden oldies. You are one of my Bestie’s. Love to you always.
We would like to offer our sympathies to Lynn’s family. Jim worked with Lynn at HPD for many years.
Lynn and I were the best of friends for many years and his loss is indeed hard to accept. Whether it was a fishing trip or a ride along while on patrol for HPD, we were like brothers. While time and distance caused us to part ways in recent years, he will always be in our hearts and memories. Lynn is now gone but we can all take solace knowing that he is in a better place now. Rest In Peace my friend.
