Lyn was the third son of Samuel and Carrie Hutchins. Lyn attended Franklin Middle School and East High School where he learned to play the flute and clarinet. He was a self-taught piano player. During his school years, he was an avid basketball player and he also delivered newspapers in the neighborhood. Lyn enjoyed playing chess and often played with his brother and nephews.

Lyn worked for Western Electric, Big Lots, Steel Drum, and Dove Cleaning Services which most likely started him to believe he needed to be his own boss. At an early age of 23, he became an entrepreneur, owning his own cleaning service. He had a few big cleaning contracts at several Worthington businesses. Lyn was a very optimistic person. He always believed he was the best person for the job, as long as it paid well. He loved his family to the fullest when he was at his best. He will be remembered for walking to his own beat.
