Peter, Andrew,
I’m very sorry for the loss of your father. Lynn was a private person, but we did get to chat a few times over the years on Cullens Run. His lawn will never be the same. : )
In 198?, we were new to the neighborhood and went trick-or-treating with Andy and Pete. It snowed a bit. After making the rounds around Vincent Drive and Cullens Run, we grouped to the Wimer’s. There was a hole in my bag and most of the candy was gone. Mr. Wimer stepped out, and returned sometime later with most of the lost candy. He’d retraced our steps in the dark and cold, following the trail of treats, recovering them one by one–for a kid he didn’t even know.
Peter& Andrew, I was sadden to see that your dad had passed away . When reading the obituary is when I 1st learned of your mothers passing . I have let my daughter Danielle know & we both want to let u know how sorry we are that u have lost both of your parents . With love & prayers Amy & Danielle
I knew Lynn from Penfield High School days. When we graduated, Lynn and I packed up our camping gear and flew to San Diego and travelled down into Mexico as well. We had the time of our lives ! You could always count on a lot of laughs when we got together…I will miss him !
I grew up with Lynn. I’m so saddened that he had passed. I often think of him and my childhood memories. We shot slot of pool together and every time we ran in to each other it was like I just saw him the day before. We had some inside jokes that no one understood and people would look at us like we were crazy. I will miss him.
Our thoughts are with Lynn’s family and friends at this sad time.
