Pick-Up Pals is experiencing a tremendous loss with the passing of our dear friend and employee, Lynn Sands. A quiet, gentle, kind, funny, talented, skilled, wise man whose shoes cannot be filled by any other. He repaired, maintained, created, crafted, engineered, fabricated, installed, etc. Few today have a work ethic like his, a trait deeply instilled by his parents. He was our go-to for all kinds of things, from routine maintenance to quirky repairs and rebuilds. Some say “everyone is replaceable.” They clearly didn’t know Lynn. But above all, Lynn’s faith in God is what drove him, anchored him and sustained him. Our love and prayers are extended to his precious wife and 2 sons. Heaven gained a great one! And we will miss him deeply.
