Although I am approaching 68 years old, I still often think of the grandfather I never met. I also think of my dad who grew up without his father and what a difficult situation his family endured. We are a service oriented family. We are extremely proud that a Deputy Sheriff, Firefighter, Nurse, Teacher and my military service have and continue to serve our country and community well.
Our prayers are always with you Grandpa and Dad.

Thomas C. Lynes III
Grandson of Trooper Lynes
