Lyn McIntosh photo tribute - "A Man for all Seasons", and HOME TOWN HERO....

With sadness we announce the passing of Lyn McIntosh this past weekend.  Our condolences to Lenore, the entire McIntosh family and Lyn's brothers, my old friends Dwight, Craig and Grant.  The following post is mostly just photos. 
REMEMBERING
