With a Minor League baseball contract, and a scouting letter from the San Francisco 49ers, Lynn decided to teach and coach while working at Dunton Realty. He enjoyed golfing as often as possible. Lynn retired after 30 years of working at USPS.

Lynn lived his faith by loving and including everyone. He told jokes often, even to total strangers just to make them smile.

Lynn treasured his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
