Chuck Lynn, Indianapolis, IN— Chuck Lynn, affectionately known as "The Wolfman," passed away on Monday, August 26th. He was 71 years old. Chuck was a well-loved figure at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where he sold the IndyStar newspaper since 1973, riding his trike and calling out "Paper!" He was also a familiar face at the Indiana State Fair, Marion County Fair, and Indianapolis Colts games.

Rest in peace," Schroeder wrote. Another community member, Denise Issa, also expressed her condolences.
