Mr. Carlin Lynch, a friend and former Member of the Saint Vincent’s Services Board of Directors., often referred to as “Coach”, lived and breathed the definition of “Humanitarian”.  Those who were lucky enough to know him will remember his love for his family, his never-ending smile, and his dedication to our community and those less fortunate,
