I always struggle to find words to say when someone that I care about passes. Lynn was more than a good neighbor, he was a good friend that I always looked forward to seeing when I was at the farm. He made me laugh and sometimes I made him laugh too. He always was there to help out in any way he could. It might be with some advice about farming or to lend me a tool when something broke down. When I would ask him if he had this or that he would tell me" hell Tom, you know were stuff is out there better than I do. Just go out and get what ever you need. I once thought about offering to help him pick up the garage, but then thought better of it - he would have told me that if I did that he couldn't find stuff then. He pulled me out of the mud more than once with his tractor! He would often stop by just to talk on his trip over to the Dairy. I would ask him what he was up to and his answer was that he was just taking care of his nose business - nosing around to see what others were up to! He once told me the only reason that he went down for coffee at 6:00AM was to protect his reputation. The truth is that I was there once when he wasn't and all the old fellow's were worried that something bad had happened to him because he wasn't there. He was well thought of. I will truly miss him and his sense of humor. He was a very good friend! If there is anything that I can do to help out in the future, please don't hesitate to ask. I am praying that God will be with you during your grieving - to comfort you and help you to be strong. God Bless you and your family, Tom Bell |
