What an amazing man. Lynn and I met in “jail” at the Pomona Block party many years ago. I would not have picked anyone better to be in “jail” with than he. God had a plan that day. I attended the church at Pomona on and off for several years, and my children grew up in the church. Heaven has gained a true Angel and he met his beloved wife at the gates.
Prayers to his children and grandchildren..

Lynn preched in Ava for a time and was well loved. I was married and lived either in Wichita or Tulsa at the time of my visits there. May God bless all his family and loved ones who are honoring him and missing him now.
