Lynn was born and attended school in Saskatoon. Growing up he enjoyed playing hockey and scored five or six goals every game, but his love was football, and he was a good catcher and a fast runner in the game he loved. His football memories were of the 1959 SASKATOON HILLTOPS JR. FOOTBALL CHAMPION TEAM. (#76). The team was inducted into the SASK. SPORTS HALL OF FAME. He joined the Navy when he was young and later returned to Saskatoon. He sang in a band also in his younger years.
He trained as a GOLDSMITH and pursued that profession all his life. Many people in Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia have special one-of-a-kind pieces of jewellery that were designed by Lynn.
He was a Legion member of Br. 70 in North Battleford when he passed. He was very proud to have built a new animal shelter in one year while residing and working in Swift Current. He loved photography, golfing, fishing, camping, looking for arrowheads, music, collecting antiques and loved his dogs.
Special thanks to all the doctors, nurses, and homecare personnel who helped Lynn and family. He will be missed. Remembered with love. At his request there will be no funeral.
Donations in memory may be to your local animal shelter and the Canadian Cancer Society.
