William Gaston Lynskey
Not excluding my own mother and father, my grandfather William Gaston Lynskey affected my life more than anyone else I've ever met. He was a gentle man, kind in nature, simple in statue, a true gentleman from the days gone by. There wasn't much he wouldn't tinker with, and if you didn't want to make a full blown project out anything - you'd best not tell him! This dedication to a wonder man will continue to grow.
Background:
Born: March 16, 1902
Died: October 01, 1992
1983, March 13:
Shortly after Deb and I were married (Aug of 1982), we visited Gaston and Lucille at 815 Fulton Avenue, Falls Church, VA. I remember distinctly making a note to myself reminding me to send Grandpa some drill bits as his had been worn down considerably over the years. I had also jotted down the magazines he had been featured in as a result of his tree feeder invention. After I sent Grandpa the drill bits, I received a handwritten letter from him. This is the only letter that I ever received, although I received countless letters from Grandma. Having spoken with my Dad, he doesn't recall ever having received a letter from Gaston.
