Durham was a loving husband and a Franklin County boy at heart. Everyone else came 1 ^st and he always came 2 ^nd . Durham would do anything for anybody and went out of his way to make sure everyone he loved never needed anything. He took care of his children and they absolutely meant the world to him. In addition, he adored his wonderful wife whom he loved dearly. He always enjoyed visiting Nags Head to go fishing with his son. He started his own business, D&F Lynch Roofing and Sheet Metal, which he has been running for the past 45 years. One of his favorite hobbies was in car sales at Riverside Auto Sales after his retirement. He was a United States Marine Veteran who faithfully served in the Korean war.
