Lionel "Lin" Lindsay died July 31st 2014, at his home in Melbourne, after a valiant battle with cancer. Born in 1935 and married in 1958, he is survived by his wife of over 50 years Grace Polly, daughter Grace Stoop-Andrews, son Michael, and son-in-law Matthew Andrews. Lin also took great joy in his seven grandchildren Eli, Isaac, Nathan, Kelsey, Natalia, Brianna, and Clayton, also his cat, Oliver. Lin was ordained in 1958 into the Brooklyn-Nassau Presbytery; he received his Doctorate of Ministry in 1982 at Louisville Presbyterian Seminary. He also held an S.T.B. from New York Theological Seminary (1958) and a Th. M. from Princeton Theological Seminary (1961). Lin served five Presbyterian churches as minister between the years of 1958 and 2000 in the states of NY, FL, and KY. He also served the Presbyterian Church at various times as Commissioner to the General Assembly in Baltimore and Orlando, Moderator of the Presbytery of North East Florida, and Secretary and Co-Chair of the Committee on Ministry of Louisville Presbytery. Lin was also a much sought after speaker, leader, and instructor. A memorial service will be held at Trinity Wellsprings Church in Satellite Beach on Monday the 11th at 11:00. We would appreciate you signing the guest book at Beckman-Williamson.com. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made to Heart of Africa, P0 Box 5, Friendship, ME 04547 (a memorial fund in his name has been created).

Polly, Grace, and MikeWe just want you to know we are thinking of all of you and praying for you at this difficult time. Lin was a wonderful part of our lives, as he was of so many others, not only as our pastor, but as our friend. We are so glad we were able to visit you both this past winter.

We will always remember Lin and my time at New Goshen with fondness and wonder. He was a great teacher, and helped strengthen my beliefs (and my ability to be specific while expressing them). His smirk and twinkle will always be a happy memory.

Polly,We are saddened to read of Lionel's passing. His sermons at the Little Brown Church were always so heart-felt and inspiring. And his joy in leading the hymn-sings was contagious. We will miss him.

Apologies for being eight years late but I was rummaging through some old documents today and I found my record of baptism. It turns out that Reverend Lindsay baptized me 60 years ago today (12/9/62). I thank him and pray that the rest of the surviving family is doing well.
