Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Lynch Family My family and I want you to know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers, but I want to let you know what a great person John was. When I first met him his gruffness scared me a little! But soon I saw thru the front and found a wonderful Man. I not only considered him my favorite jeweler but a good friend. He came highly recommended by my mother who was an employee of Woodies Jewelry years ago. I always enjoyed visiting with John & Emery both; It always made my day better. He always had a joke or story to go along with that big smile that he always had. I even felt comfortable enough to take my ‘rocks’ from colorado to see how much gold I had Found (Fools Gold) we laugh every time we see that rock. We will miss him very much. I know a lot of people will miss him also since his heart was so big!
