I was sad to hear that Lynn had passed away, Lynn came to work in a small town called Dargaville in New Zealand in the early 1970's. He was my music teacher and I thought the world of him. He was cool and took no nonsense from the kids. If you didn't want to learn in his class- get out. Simple as that. He talked of grit iron football and bands we had never heard of, but of course, now, after being introduced to sounds we were unfamiliar with, my brother and I gained a broad appreciation of music genre and still remember Lynne's favorites like Mike Oldfield and Tangerine Dream. Lynn had seen Led Zeppelin in live concert.... to us there was no man so cool... To Lynn's family, I send my condolences. If Lynn ever wondered if he had left a lasting impression on anyone over here in the little town of Dargaville, he did. Lynn was also the music teacher of my sister-in-law Linda who was born in Washington State and still lives there. Small world. That's how I got to hear of his passing.God bless you Lynn , love from Janine Hansen (nee Halliday)
