customsteve01 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I think it would be a great idea for everyone that has a memory of Lynnm, to post it here. Go find some old post of where he helped you and paste them here, or just type your story. I know that most people here did not ever meet him in person but you felt like you knew him. I was thinking that after a couple of weeks that Bob C. might take this thread and e-mail it to his family. They might not know the extent of his extended Klipsch family. I know that I would like to hear how one of my loved ones helped other people. This would be something we could give to the family that they could enjoy for a long time. Maybe Amy could keep this at the top for a while. I know I enjoyed reading his threads even tho sometimes they went over my head.

BS Button Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 He told me to never wear polyester clothing. I remember. Long story...one of many in which Lynn was correct. Hope he's visiting with PWK right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinr Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 That's a nice thought, Steve. I'm sure Lynnm's family would appreciate reading about his passion for music and audio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

middlecreekguy Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Lynn was one of the first personalities that stood out when I first came to this forum. I cannot say more good about him than what has already been said. I will say this lose has really effected me more than some of my own blood. I would have loved to have met Lynn. Wouldn't it be a nice tribute to resurrect many of his past threads he started and continue the conversation. All current posts would then be started by Lynn. I noticed one has already reappeared. That might be a nice tribute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I never felt I really "hit the mark" until I was chastised by Lynn: "Bad fini!! Bad fini!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Oh, gosh, fellas; I must live in a cave: I didn't even know that Lynnm had left. I'm extremely sorry to hear that. May God bless him and his family. [A] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I never had much chance to chat with Lynn but I sure did get a charge out of his Avatar. I'm still trying to figure out who that is a picture of......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I never met him, but over time on a forum it's not hard to reach some conclusions about many of the people whose posts you read. My sense of Lynn was that of a intelligent man of honest bearing, keen wit, gentle and sympathetic, knowledgable about his hobby and passionate about his music. I also suspect that to meet him would be to instantly become a friend, to share a laugh, a confidence and to rest easy in his presence. When I first got here he was most helpful, later on, very appreciative of a small favor I did him by sending him a sealed organ music lp, and often amused by my various hijinks. He was an earnest believer in the forum dictum that there are no stupid questions. He also gave very good advice that you could trust knowing its source. Late last night when I read of his passing I sat down and played The Commodores song "Nightshift" a wonderfully dynamic tune in tribute to soul singers like Marvin Gaye who have passed into the great beyond. I doubt if it was Lynn's particular style of music but it did my heart good to think that perhaps Lynn is with them now voices raised in soulful melodies. I also know he would have loved the first few very deep organ like notes at the beggining of the song. If you have tune play it and think of him. If you don't I've downloaded it onto a wave file. PM me and I'll ship it to you. A poor way, but a way I guess, to share some thoughts and feelings over Lynn's passing. They might not quite fit perfectly but I would like to close by sharing a few quotations on life and death from the source of Lynn's avatar- Mark Twain: Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life. - Notebook, 1898 Let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry. - The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson and the Comedy of the Extraordinary Twins Life was not a valuable gift, but death was. Life was a fever-dream made up of joys embittered by sorrows, pleasure poisoned by pain; a dream that was a nightmare-confusion of spasmodic and fleeting delights, ecstasies, exultations, happinesses, interspersed with long-drawn miseries, griefs, perils, horrors, disappointments, defeats,humiliations, and despairs--the heaviest curse devisable by divine ingenuity; but death was sweet, death was gentle, death was kind; death healed the bruised spirit and the broken heart, and gave them rest and forgetfulness; death was man's best friend; when man could endure life no longer, death came and set him free. - Letters from the Earth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Although Lynn and I never met either, I did send him a couple LPs including John Coltrane's, "Blue Train" which he enjoyed very much. We exchanged quite a few emails over the years and somewhere in his replies was always "Thanks mi amigo." I still cannot believe he's gone and this happened so quickly. I always looked forward to his posts and he will be missed dearly. My prayers go out to you and your loved ones mi amigo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMcGoo Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I remember Lynnm as an experienced member most likely to help a new member. He had excellent common sense and could convey it to a new member lost in a complex hobby. He will be missed. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 No idea what you're talking about, Bill. I sure wish Lynn was here to explain it... ;^) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomac Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Lynnm recommended the Discwasher system and it was a darn fine recommendation. Each time I bring mine out to clean some vinyl, Ill think of lynnm and the many excellent and interesting posts he offered her on the Klipsch Forum. A good guy, for sure!

jt1stcav Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Back in April when I posted a pic of my cat Sammy sitting up against my 300B SET amp, Lynn (in all his infinite wisdom) made this humorous comment: That pic reminds me of the day that we bought our ASL AQ1003DT. My wife said It sounds beautiful but what if one of our girls decides to sniff one of the big tubes ?? I looked at her and said Just Once Dear...Just Once!! Fortunately it has not been an issue...so far! I got a kick out of it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviserated Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Talking with Lynnm in this forum was one of the reasons I bought my ASL AQ1003DT. Bye Lynnm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnysal Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I remember when Lynnm first started posting I thought he was a girl...lol. he sent me a pm (which a now cannot find) explaining he was, in fact, male and asked me questions about my system and where I lived. He was a friendly, open and caring individual. I will remember him fondly for his sense of humor. tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
