Thurmont recently lost an individual who gave much of his time and energy for the betterment of the town he loved so much. Brian Lynch was an advocate for making Thurmont the best it could be for those who not only live here but visit as well! Brian cultivated ideas and opinions for a better tomorrow. Brian Lynch passed Sunday, December 27, 2009. Brian is survived by his wife Mary and two daughters Colleen and Anna. I had the opportunity to work with Brian on many projects and his dedication was always sincere and focused. Mr. Lynch and wife Mary served on various commissions and committees. Thurmont CAO Bill Blakeslee comments the following, “Brian was a member of the Park Commission and coordinated the popular Concerts in the Park. “He also was a member of the Economic Development group, Special Events group as well as the Thurmont Historical Society.” ” He participated in most of the events sponsored by these groups and was even nicknamed the “Parking Czar” for all his efforts to coordinate parking at events such as the Business Expo, Christmas in Thurmont, Halloween in the Park, 50/60’s Day and Family Movies Nights.” ”He also helped with gardening at the Historical Society and Town Parks and seemed to be always helping at almost any event in Thurmont.” ”He was a regular attendee at Town Meetings, EDC Meetings, Planning and Zoning Meetings and was an active participant at these meetings.”Mr. Blakeslee further commented, “Mr. Blakeslee further commented, “It is fair to say that he will be greatly missed throughout the town but he will be missed even more as a friend.”
Our condolences go out to Mary, Colleen and Anna. Your strength is an inspiration to all.
