Lindsay was my best friend from UNC NROTC. We roomed together for 6 weeks of Navy ROTC camp in Chapel Hill. Lindsay was awarded a sword for being the top midshipman as voted on by the NROTC staff upon graduation and commissioning in May 1971. I know he loved his family and was a great friend of lost pets and shelters in central N Carolina. He was a great UNC fan. This is all shocking to me. I only found out today. Words are tough to come by right now.
Rest in Eternal Peace Shipmate. You made this world a better place. You are sorely missed. I will see you on the other side.

Lindsay and I have been friends since Middle School. We graduated from Lexington High the same year and were at UNC- Chapel Hill the same time. Later we were neighbors for a while . Our paths crossed often over the years and we always had fun catching up. Paula and I offer our condolences to his family.
