James Lynch's Obituary
James Lynch was born in Moyvane, County Kerry in Ireland on September 16, 1949. In 1969, he emigrated from Ireland to New York, where he worked in construction and bartending. James got married and moved to Philadelphia, where he had three daughters and worked as a landscaper for a number of years. In later years, James and his wife Tina moved to Fort Myers, where they met many wonderful friends. They made great memories in Fort Myers and enjoyed many happy hours at the Pickle-N-Pub. James had a love of horses and politics, and always had a joke to share.
