To. All Lynch family: sincere condolences to all of you on the loss of such a great man. We were good friends in high school and got back in touch a few years ago thru FB. Was hoping to visit at our 50 year class reunion this fall. I was saddened hearing of his passing. It sounds like he lived a good and happy life. God will welcome him with open arms. He will not be forgotten and live always in our hearts.

My condolences. Kevin and I worked together in the second precinct. We also played softball together. He was a good man. He passed Away way to young. We shared many laughs for the five years we worked together.

As a co-worker of Kevin at the Lancaster Post Office, Kevin always took time to speak with me when we passed each other in the locker room. An exceptional person who was willing to share things about himself and his family. My condolences to your family.
