Lynn volunteered for the draft and spent most of his U.S. Army time stationed in Germany. He always talked about how great it felt coming home on a ship and seeing the Statue of Liberty. After Lynn was honorably discharged he worked for a short time at M&H gas station, while working there he met Mavis and in 1966, he began his 31 years of working at the Minot Air Force Base as a civilian with the Department of Defense. He retired in 1997, not wanting to sit still he worked 10 more years at the Dakota Inn, Minot, where he enjoyed meeting all the travelers.

Lynn married Mavis Schlosser on February 20, 1964, they were married for almost 60 years. He enjoyed having a big garden, and grocery shopping with Mavis, making sure his pantries were always full or should we say overstocked! Lynn was a member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Minot.

Lynn would want to thank the wonderful neighbors, especially Scott and Jill Muhle, who have taken over all of the outside chores these last couple of years!
