To the family of Lynn – I am so sorry to hear about Lynn’s passing. I grew up neighbors with Lynn in Roseau and had lost contact with the family. I remember when Armand married Bobbie and we got new neighborhood kids. Lynn and I used to have good talks on the school bus. I did know that he had been sick. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Sharon
Please accept my sincere condolences on Lynn’s passing. I too (same as Sharon) grew up as a (somewhat younger) neighbor of Lynn’s in the little country community of Malung. Lynn was a kind, humorous and even mischievous character that made country living even more fun. He and his entire family were great neighbors and friends. Lynn will be missed by many and his memory treasured by even more.
Sincerely,
Lowell Comstock

I’m sorry to hear of the passing of Lynn. We were good friends through the years. My deepest sympathies to Teresa and Casey. Unfortunately I won’t be able to be there Sat, but know my thoughts go out to his family and friends. I have many fond memories of us guys.
Our sympathy to you on the loss of Lynn. Armand and I were first cousins. Our famiilies used to be together a lot. I babysat for Armand & Bobbie, even tho I was only 2 years older than Lynn. We were all so pleased when Armand and Bobbie got married. My bachelor cousin got a wonderful ready made family! Lynn and I were always friends. I hadn’t seen him in years until Debbie’s funeral. He had the same warm friendly smile! He didn’t let on to me that he had health problems. I always enjoyed him. May you find comfort in your many happy memories.
So sorry for the loss of Lynn. What a special friend he was and always will be. Our hearts go out to you Terry [Too Too] and Casey. What a great guy he was! Love to your family from ours.
I am so sorry to hear about my cousin, Lynn. My sympathies go out to Terri and Casey, Larry, Wayne and Rhonda, and Carol. I will always remember the comedy and laughter when all of you got together and started teasing and making jokes whether it was in Roseau, Elk River, or Hackensack. It was such a great time! I’m glad I got to talk to Lynn by phone not too long ago. Wish I could be there Saturday, he is with my Aunt Bobbie and Uncle Armand now. You may share this memory from me. Mom and Dad, Leonard and Marcie feel the same about wishing we could be there Saturday. We are all in Arizona or we would be there,we will be there in heart and spirit.Your cousin forever, Laurie Soderquist (Winters).
