Member Leo Lynn Flies West

Our brother Leo Lynn passed away last Friday – 15 May 2015 – at 0405, following a brief final illness. Patricia, his wife of 37 years, reports that he died peacefully in his sleep while surrounded by family.

Although Leo was a regular attendee at lunch for twenty years, he found it increasingly difficult to walk over the past two years, and his last meeting with us was the 30th Anniversary Lunch on 10 September 2014.

Leo was a B-17 pilot in World War II, and an active general aviation pilot for decades after the War. He owned and operated Lincoln-Mercury dealerships in Las Vegas and Reno for many years. After retirement. he served as a regular juror on the federal grand juries in Reno.

There will be no funeral. Patricia has arranged for a memorial get-together for family and friends to be held at the Reno Elks Lodge on Monday, June 1st, beginning at 1400. She would enjoy having Mondongueros Members attend to share their stories and remembrances about Leo.

The pictures below of Leo were taken in 1944, and during the Reno Air Races in September 2008.
