    We always knew him as Linwood. He lived on our street for many years in New Kenty county and we did a lot of fishing and boating with he and his late wife, Shelley. Their wedding was held in our home. Love them both and will miss them. He was Always funny and always the gentleman.

    I am so sorry to learn of Linwood's death. Has not been that long ago that I talked to him. We graduated from South Hill High School together. May God be with each member of his family in the months ahead without him. Lots of love from my home to yours.
