My memories with Jim.
« on: March 11, 2023, 04:13:16 PM »
I was very fortunate and blessed to have Jim Lynch as a friend. He always had a saying when we got together to fly or build. He would say that “We are making memories”.  How true that was.

I don't even know Jim, and that brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for putting together such a touching sendoff to a member of our extended family. Especially the final frame of the video.

Paul that was a great tribute to your friend.
Hopefully we can some how reconnect with friends and family if our souls are eternal.

Thanks for sharing Paul. Jim would be proud. I’m going to miss seeing him at Brodak’s.

I didn't know Jim very well, but I really value the time spent with him and Charlie Reeves at VSC a few years back.  Jim was a true gentleman and a terrific builder and flier.  Excellent video tribute!

Jim Lynch joined Charlie Reeves on an excellent adventure to VSC in Tucson in 2018.  It was a pleasure to meet him.

Jim never stopped smiling for the entire week.  He had two entries (Classic and Super 70's).  When I counted up the pilot's choice Concourse votes, Jim was in first and third!!
