Praying for the family. Met Mr. and Mrs. Lindsey when I first started going to Pole Creek. She was teaching in the children’s dept. A very sweet couple and he was the best ‘piano-tuner’ ever. Carolyn Stamey
So sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Lindsay. I knew him thru Food Lion. He was one of my favorite customers. He always stopped to talk to me to see how I was doing and how my family was. He sure did love his family and he would always show me pictures of the grand-kids. He sure was proud of them. I don’t think he knew a stranger either cause everyone was always taking to him and they knew him by name. My prayers are with the family and y’all are heavy in my heart. May God Bless all of you and wrap his loving arms around you and guve you comfort and peace during this time.

I met Mr. Lindsay 12 years ago. He helped me find a piano for my daughter. He was such a kind man. I enjoyed the short time that I knew him. His wisdom & honesty meant a lot to me. I opened that piano today & found his card. I called his phone number, to find it had been disconnected. I had a question for him. I wondered if he had died. I googled his name & found his obituary. I was blessed to watch the video of his life. My condolences go out to his family. God bless you all.
