Lynch was born Oct. 15, 1916 in Peace Valley, Mo. He married his wife, Aud- rey, in 1938. The Lynch family re- sided in Kansas and Colo- rado before moving to Wa- terford, Calif. In the mid 1940s. The family moved to San Diego a few years later, where Don was em- ployed in the aircraft in- dustry until his retirement in the late 1960. Don and Audrey bought a hardware store in Washington state where they could be closer to their son, Ron and his fam- ily. Don and Audrey re- tired in Cave Junction a few years later. They were active in Belt Lodge, and enjoyed many friendships in Cave Junction. When Audrey died in 1986, Don moved to Berkeley, Calif. When Don’s health began to fail he once again moved, this time to Bellewood Retire- ment Home in Issaquah, Wash. Don instantly made many friends and he was always the life of the party at Bellewood. He contin- ued to get rave reviews on his home cooking — fried chicken livers, clam chow- der, cherry cream pie and culinary delights. He leaves behind his son, Ron Lynch (Patti), grandchildren: Dawn Rob- inson (Todd), Darcy Lynch Jannitto (Mark), Ron Lynch II (Colleen); great grandchildren: Krystie, Sarabeth, Hannah, Jack, Sam and Madeline.

St. Patrick of the Forest Catholic Church On Sunday, June 29, Saints Peter and Paul, Apostles, will be the focus of our Mass. In Paul’s sec- ond letter to Timothy we will hear Paul’s testimony about how the Lord gave him strength and about his faith that the Lord would rescue him and bring him to his heavenly kingdom. Then, in Matthew’s Gos- pel, we will read the verse where Jesus speaks to Pe- ter, “And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.” During this same conversation, Jesus gave Peter the keys to the kingdom of heaven. There will also be a charis- matic mass and healing service at St. Rita’s Retreat Center in Gold Hill at 4 p.m. To attend the dinner following the mass, phone (541) 855-1333 for reser- vations and $5 per person is needed by Friday, June 27.
