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.
