Lyn was born February 18, 1947 in Stephenfield and in April, 1950 moved with his family to Narcisse. He worked in the PFRA pasture at Mulvihill for a short while and then at the CN shops in Transcona, living with his aunt and uncle Bill and Millie Sailor and family. He married Linda on October 10, 1971 and moved to the Gordon area where they built their home and raised their children. Lyn was founding member of the MRCA (Manitoba Rodeo Cowboy Association) and he and Linda were proud to be made lifetime members and recognized for their contributions at the finals in Brandon several years ago. He also enjoyed being on the organizing committee for the annual Stonewall Toy Show. Lyn was an outgoing, friendly person who had many friends. He enjoyed striking up conversations and sharing stories wherever he went - no one was a stranger to Lyn for long.
