Dan lynch was our neighbor in Los Altos in the early 2000s.  He was a lovely guy &  became a great friend.   He was a mentor and advisor on a number of ventures over the years and wouldn’t hesitate to offer his guidance when asked.rest in peace old buddy.Eric Litvin Sent from my iPhoneOn Apr 1, 2024, at 6:05 PM, Joe Klein  wrote:Wow, I have not spoken to Dan Lynch in 8 years.

I only knew him by remote interaction, and I have often felt cheated that I didn’t get to know him better.

Raise glass for Dan!

RIP Dan Lynch. It is worth adding that he was also the founder of the 
Interop shows in the mid 80s which achieved a great deal in terms of 
advancing TCP/IP adoption, and inter-operability testing was a big deal 
back then when the future of TCP/IP was also not at all certain, as it 
was in competition then with the ISO/OSI protocol suite. Dan's efforts 
and passion as an entrepreneur created an exponentially growing 
community of users and vendors all over the world that made the TCP/IP 
protocol suite the de facto standard. Thanks very much for sharing. 
Today we take the Internet for granted. It could have been very different.

Thanks for sharing this, too.Lynch was really underrated for what he did.  
He basically made certain that people made their dreams work together, or at
