"Hello, All.
As you know I passed away on Tuesday May 31st at 10am North Carolina time. Kate is doing good and surround by family, My favorite son, Mark Naron is helping my beautiful wife Kate pack up the house in N.C. to get ready to sell in the near future. Yes, Kate is moving back to the Seattle area and she will be well taken care of by both Mark and Tim Sweeney. Everybody has been asking about my Memorial service, well, we are going to party like I was here with you. LynnBBQfest 2016 will be sometime in August, I want EVERYBODY to talk behind my back in the good way like I'm in the bathroom...... For an extended period of time.
More details will come in July for the August LynnBBQfest in Shoreline, Wash. Until then If you would like any family updates, My conservative, right wing, God fearing Son, Mark Naron will be more than happy to give you family updates, and like I said, the LynnBBQfest info will be released Mid-July on my FB Page...
Well, All. I'm off to hang with Bela, Boris and Lon. Thank you for all the great times we had, I truly loved you all!"
