Lynn was a signalman in the U.S. Navy during World War II and was in Tokyo Bay, Japan the day the official surrender papers were signed. He worked for the Santa Fe Railroad in San Bernardino, California for 35 plus years. Imogene was an instructional aide in the Rialto Unified School District for more than 20 years.
For most of their married life they lived in Rialto, California, retired to St. George, Utah and recently moved to Orem, Utah.
They were dedicated parents and fiercely loyal friends. They were the best father and mother a kid could have ever asked for. They were loved and adored by their grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
