Thorny will be missed - lots of memories to cherish of both him and Auntie El
I worked with Mr. Lynam at the Sussex Vocational-Technical School District; I was a secretary in the Guidance Department. He was always so full of fun, with a great sense of humor, and very dedicated to his career as Principal of James H. Groves. He was so much fun at our annual Christmas dinner/dance, and he and Eleanor were the life((s) of the party! He was one of the "good ole boys".
Fondly,
Mary Lou Ewell
What a wonderful, kind, funny man your father was! I have worked at Williams Insurance Agency for 49 years and your parents were two of our longest and best clients. I always knew Thorny's voice when I heard him come in the front door and made sure I walked out of my office to greet him. He usually came in with some kind of problem but we did what we could to resolve it. Your Mom was so patient with him when he started to become forgetful and kept apologizing but we still loved him and his sense of humor never wavered. People like your parents are what I miss most about not being in the office anymore. I don't know any of you but I feel your pain. It is especially hard once your second parent moves to heaven. May you find comfort in what I am sure are fabulous memories of such a fun loving man. Rest in peace Thorny and I am glad you are reunited with Eleanor. Much love my friend.

I am so sorry I cannot attend the services for your Dad, Jackie and Susan. He was a great guy and I know you will miss him so much. We will all miss him who had the pleasure of knowing him.. I have know him 68 years {when I married into the Lynam family} and we called him "Sonny"----Maybe that was to distinguish him from Dick's brother, Thornie who was named for Uncle Thornton many years before. He was full of fun and laughter up to the very end! My thoughts and prayers are with you all.Love,Anne
Susan and Jackie Sorry for your Loss. He will be missed.

I neglected to mention in my first memory that my husband, Richard, also worked for Thorny and Eleanor at the Bell Buoy in Dewey Beach and enjoyed that job also. We became close friends and enjoyed the company of both of the Lynams. Love and Prayers again.
To the family of Thorny, Mr. Lynam was the most wonderful and caring boss that anyone could ever have. I was a secretary for him at James H. Groves H. S. which was housed at Sussex Tech and I loved ever minute of that job because of him. My family is so very sorry for your great loss. Love and Prayers to all.
What a wonderful person Mr.Lynam was.
May God grant you peace at this time.
Thinking of you and yours,
Bonnie McIlvain
