Bob and Micki were both members of the Southern CT Chapter for a while and
I send my thoughts and prayers out.

Good morning folks;
I'm truly sadden by the News of Mr. Lynch's passing he was a true hero in
our fight for equality. He and his wife treated both me and Janet with the
utmost respect. A true friend, I wish you well in your next journey Bob.
God bless you and the work you've done for me personally and our organization.

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.
