IN MEMORY

The town of Boca Raton along with the Lynn University community mourned the greatest
loss. This loss was of a man who dedicated all of his time and effo1t into the town in which he
lived in for many years. On November 28, 1999 Eugene M . Lynn passed away, leaving a loving
wife and daughter. He was born in Kansas City, Missouri, on November 6, 1918.

Eugene M . Lynn was the Chairman Emeritus of Lynn Insurance Group, and a long
time community leader. He also served as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Col-
lege of Boca Raton in 1989 and has been affiliated with the college since that time. In
1991 the College was renamed Lynn Unversity in the honor of Mr. Lynn and his wife
Christine. The Lynns have been responsible for several of the major buildings on the
campus including the Lynn Residence Center and the Eugene M. and Christine E. Lynn Library.
They were also the driving force behind the creation of the Eugene M . and Christine E. Lynn
School of Communications.

Over the years he has been recognized on many occasions for meaningful and
significant contributions to his community and to the State of Florida. Places such as Stetson
University, Florida Atlantic University, The Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce, and the Fort
Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, the Better Business Bureau, YMCA, Hosipice by the Sea, and numer-
ous others have recognized his determination to better peoples lives.

The campus and community will not be the same without the man that brought so much
hope and inspiration to everyone who met him. We will always remember the love he had for
Lynn Unversity and his memory will live on.
