Lynn and I spent our entire childhood and a good part of our adult life together. We drifted apart as our lives changed. He was a loyal friend and had a great sense of humor. We shared so much. I cannot perceive the world without him. I will miss him immensely. Thanks for sharing time on the phone Shirley. Nancy cried when I called her in Sweden. The best to you, the kids and extended family.
