Hi all,

This morning, we received the sad news that Bob Lynch passed away on  
Friday, April 19th. Many of you remember Bob from his active participation in  
our affiliate in the 80s and early 90s. He helped reorganize the New Haven  
Chapter in the early 90s; he was very active in the Diabetic Division, both as 
 an officer and organizing several seminars; these are just a couple of the 
 many ways that Bob made our affiliate a better one. 

Personally, I will always smile when I think of Bob. I have great  memories 
of spending time with him and his wife Micki at state conventions.  One 
year, on Friday night, Rich Violette brought all his equipment and was  playing 
dj of the night. Bob and I sat there talking about favorite songs and  
asking Rich to play them. We laughed a lot that night. Bob was a good man, and  
he will be missed by a lot of people. His obituary is cut and pasted below 
for  those who are interested.
