My friend Don Lynn passed away this weekend after a nine year bout with cancer. He was the CEO of Lyn-Tron a business his father started in 1956. He became my friend when I was new to the fastener business and remained a friend, council, and was my first vendor when I started Apex Fasteners though we had done business together for years previously. He always had time and advice and we shared the discipline of business together. His is a legacy of kindness, understanding, and stewardship. I'm grateful that I had his friendship and I endeavor to be that kind of man.
