With the passing of Bruce Lynn of Belcher on September 28, farmer, family man, politician and a tremendous voice for agriculture, we will always have a void to fill as Bruce represented our part of Louisiana and agriculture in his positive and honest way. When I came to KWKH Radio and ''The Shreveport Times'' in the fall of 1959, KWKH’s Jack Timmons took me to meet Mr. Lynn and advised [that I] get to know him and follow his leadership. That I have done. He led in many ways with many phases of life and was always a person available to counsel with. In recent years as both of us backed away from present tasks, I had not shared time with him. When it was appropriate he always had a positive word that benefited. As president of the National Cotton Council of America, when cotton was king, he was at his best. We extend our sympathies to the family and as he has now moved to a "much higher" area of service. Bruce Lynn will be a leader.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.shreveporttimes.com/story/life/2016/10/09/jack-dillard-passing-lynn-leaves-void-louisiana-agriculture/91727534/|title=Passing of Lynn leaves void in Louisiana agriculture|author=Jack Dillard|publisher=''The Shreveport Times''|date=October 9, 2016|accessdate=October 22, 2019}}</ref></blockquote>
