My sincere condolences to the Lynch family. I was gifted with a couple of private audiences with Patrick over the past few years and each opportunity allowed me a brief window into the gift that he was to you all. A warm smile even on difficult days was his habit and the sharing of stories was very much a part of our visits. He has encouraged and inspired me to finish my work in progress. While Patrick loved his “Irish” I was able to share a sampling of the “Scottish” with him on my last visit. Rest easy Mr. Lynch and thank-you for your kind friendship and mentorship. T.
