IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Robert Lee
Lynn
March 17, 1936 – July 12, 2025
Mr. Robert Lee Lynn departed this life and went home to be with our Lord and Savior on Saturday, July 12, 2025. He was 89.
Robert Lee Lynn was born on March 17, 1936, in Alabama to the late Lloyd Sam Lynn and Lillie Williams Lynn. In 1963, Robert relocated to Newark, New Jersey, where he later met Catherine Turner, with whom he shared four beloved children.
During his years in Newark, Robert worked faithfully for Bob's Auto Towing and was known for his strong work ethic. He had a passion for biking and, even into his 80s, he rode and raced as if he were 21. He also enjoyed playing checkers, cards, and dominoes with his family
and friends, where his playful spirit and competitive nature always shined through.
Robert was deeply involved in his children's lives, consistently showing up to support their events and accomplishments. He was truly the
king of his family—respected, cherished, and loved by many.
On July 12, 2025, Robert departed this life and went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He will be deeply missed by all who
knew and loved him.
