RI Democrats mourn the loss of Mayor Lynch
Democrats all across Rhode Island were saddened to learn of the recent passing of former Pawtucket Mayor Dennis M. Lynch. Mayor Lynch was
in icon in his beloved city, proudly serving his community for nearly 10 years before moving on to fill administrative roles in state government.
Classy, generous, warm and sharp-witted are all words that have been used to describe this venerable public servant who left an indelible mark on his hometown and inspired his own family to pursue careers in advancing the common good.
All of us at the party send our deepest sympathies and prayers to the Mayor’s wife, Irene, and his children: our chairman, Bill Lynch, Rhode Island Attorney General Patrick Lynch, Pawtucket City Solicitor Margaret Lynch-Gadaleta, John Lynch, Ann L. Dugan, and Linda Lynch, as well as his 17 grandchildren.
Please feel free to share a memory of the mayor here or offer a condolence to the Lynch family. You may also do so at the Providence Journal’s online guest book

Are you a freakin’ idiot? PEOPLE, not Democrats mourned Dennis Lynch. He was at my mother’s wake the week before and I find it absolutely amazing that the Democrat party here cannot even acknowledge that something outside the party exists – especially during a time like this when yes, non-Democrat thinking people seem to be humans, too.

Anyone who was at Mayor Lynch’s wake could see that he was truly loved and respected by people from varying political and social spectrums. Democrats in Rhode Island are a particularly close-knit group, and on that day our hearts went out to the Lynch family. And that, Mike, was the only thing meant by the post.
