Wynn, of course

To Wynn's Family,
 
I am so sorry to hear about Wynn and my thoughts and prayers go out to each of you.
This week, I was catching up on the Sunday's Chronicle (which I hardly ever buy--just read it online) and flipping through the City/State section, and was halted in my tracks by Wynn's picture smack in the center of the page. I did a double take, I was so surprised. He was only 37. But he was a Star.
 
I only knew him through my place of work. During his IT consulting days, he came to our office and helped us through the arduous tasks of updating our computer system. I was always so glad to see him, it was a real treat. Just the thought of him coming in brightened up my day, eagerly anticipating what would be the latest with Wynn--what's new with him now -- never the same old, same old with Wynn.
 
He was so engaging and interesting and happy and fun. He kept me smiling as I would try to learn a little of the computer stuff from him, but most of the time we talked about many other things. You know, life stuff -- and laughed a lot. The last I remember with him, around the "turn of the century," Wynn and his Dad were planning a trip together to Costa Rica (right country?). It sounded like it was to be a really special time for them, and I'm hoping that it was. I could tell his family was very special to him.
 
Wow - that he went on to become an RN is so awesome; but he was a gentle person, and I can see how that gift would be used in his caring and compassion as a nurse.  
 
I have been very moved by all the memories shared by Wynn's family and friends on the web site. What a special guy - he really was a Star. I would like to thank each person for helping me to know him all the more. God bless you and him.
 
In peace and gratitude,
Nancy Lewis
