Celebrating the life of
Henry L. Backus, III
Passed away on August 10, 2019
Lin Backus, 78, passed away suddenly on Saturday, August 10, 2019, in Savannah.
The son of the late Henry and Margaret Backus, Lin was born in Savannah, Georgia on February 3, 1941. He was a lover of gardening and an avid yachtsman. He spent several years traveling along the seacoast and was a competitive saltwater angler. Lin and his wife, Jeanne, were passionate travelers and journeyed to several exciting places around the world. He loved gatherings with family and friends, photography, being outdoors and his home on the water.
Lin is survived by his daughter, Mary Elizabeth Benson, his son-in-law, Ted Benson, and his grandsons, Brendan and Daniel Benson.
Graveside services will be held at 11:00am, on Saturday, August 17, 2019, in Bonaventure Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the American Cancer Society.
I would like to give my condolences to Lin’s loved ones. When someone we love dies we may experience a range of emotions that we don’t know how to handle. It is a blessing that we have such a loving God who invites us to come to him with any worries we may have. “While you throw all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you.” - 1 Peter 5:7 Your family will be in my prayers.

Hugs and Prayers. Will miss my wonderful friend. We were always there for each other. Always enjoyed sitting on the bluff watching the dolphins and the sunset. Won’t ever be the same
