Thomas F. Lynch age 96 of Wayne died Sunday, January 6, 2008 at the Christian Health Care Center, Wyckoff.
He was born and raised in Harrison as one of 8 children. His brothers and sisters Bill, Jim, Bob, Joe, Margaret, Mary and Jane all predeceased him. His friends and family called him Tim. In 1941 he married Edna Martin the love of his life and they had a wonderful marriage for 58 years. They had one daughter Kathleen.
Tim was a WWII veteran having served with the Army Air Corps as a Staff Sergeant for the 509th AAF Base Unit. He was stationed in the Asiatic Pacific Theatre of the war in the Assam Valley of what was then India. He received the Campaign Ribbon with two Battle Stars, a Good Conduct Medal and a Distinguished Unit Badge.
Tom was an accountant with Continental Insurance Company, NYC for over forty years before his retirement in 1973. Tom and Edna moved to covered Bridge in Manalapan where they enjoyed their retirement.
Tom was a sports enthusiast, who enjoyed playing golf. He was a good golfer, very consistent and proud of his two holes in one. He taught his son in law Jim to play the game. He was a lifelong Yankee fan and loved to watch them play. When he couldn’t get them on the TV he would follow them on the radio.
Tom was a wonderful man…. patient, kind with a terrific sense of humor. He was a loving father who taught life lessons through example. The most important thing to Tom was his family. His granddaughters Lauren and Alison were his life. They have great memories of playing school and waitress when they were little and reading “The Night before Christmas” every Christmas Eve even as they became adults.
