My father was the kindest, most generous person you could ever hope to meet. He would give money to someone to help them out even if he had to go without something for himself. HE was an amazing father and an even more amazing grandfather. He loved to tell stories. Long stories. Over and over again. The same stories. I regret now that I would try to beat him to the punch and say the ending of the story so he would know I had already heard it. Oh how I long for one of those stories right about now! My dad had Alzheimer's Disease and, for the past few years, would sometimes say and do things that drove us all crazy. He got to the point where he couldn't remember who most people were. But for all of you you visited him in the nursing home and took the time to write messages in his "fan club" book, please know that he treasured that book. While he couldn't remember you he would look at that book and read it over and over again. He always knew that he was loved by so many. He will never be in pain again and will be in Jehovah's memory. May I be the kind of person he was so that I can see him again.

There once was a man named John Lynch but to me he was my Papa. He was born, raised and resided in Central Falls for nearly his entire 86 years. He was a hard worker working multiple jobs to provide for his family and married to his wife Barbara for nearly 68 years. He loved his children, doted on his grandchildren and was blessed even more by his great grandchildren. I'm thankful that he held on and was able meet and spend time with my son. Maverick won't remember those times but I'll have the stories and pictures to share. While his stubbornness was a dominate quality it could not outweigh his kindness and generous spirit. Growing up his big belly made for the best snuggles as we would watch Unsolved Mysteries and Law & Order. Papa will continue to live on in our hearts. He was the best story teller and now we get to tell ones about him. I find comfort in knowing I was there that final day to say goodbye. Papa was surrounded by those who loved him on that day and as he took his last breathe. He's no longer in pain. Next time we see him he will be better than ever. He loved his Jehovah God and believed in a resurrection and life in paradise in a perfect state. This belief will now be his reality for as for the next time he wakes it will be in that new system.

Dear Barbara, Joyce & Bill, Kevin & Sue, Kaitlyn & Jonah, Kassidy & Brad, and Alex & Sherrie.
We were so saddened when we heard that John has fallen asleep in death. John was a special man that was loved by us and so many others. His smile was genuine like his personality. It was always a pleasure to be with him and to talk with him. Even in his later times he would remember and tell of special moments that were in his heart. He had great love for his family and friends and he will surly be missed during this temporary loss. Our tears of sorrow now, will be replaced with tears of gladness when we welcome John back and rejoice when Jehovah resurrects him to the earth. May Jehovah comfort you all at this time as we all meditate on the beautiful future prospects that awaits all of us when Jehovah soon restores all things according to His wonderful purpose.
