He loved music and made others laugh anyway he could. He also loved to fish in his younger years as well as ride his Harley. He loved living in the fast lane while it lasted. His other love was the love of his Country and fellow brotherhood. Lynn is a veteran of the Vietnam War, serving between November 1967-September 1969, where he was known as "Fat Boy" and "Red" as he cooked for his unit during his time of service.
