Daniel Allen Lindley Jr.

So sorry to learn belatedly of his passing - I sent him the email below back in 2019 and he responded in characteristic modesty and good humor - his reply also below - ======== Hi, Dan - John Alan Simon here. I was a grad student in the Writers Workshop Program at Circle and took your course on teaching rhetoric to freshman back around 1973/74. I just wanted to reach out to re-connect and express my deep appreciation and gratitude for your insights and friendship during that...

I too was one of Dan´s student at uni high. We learned the Lord´s Prayer in olde English which I remember to this day. I also took care of the baby Daniel in old black point shortly after he was born. Dan lindley epitomized the best of teaching: engaging, wise, compassionate and funny. Love to the family

I just learned of Dan's passing and I feel so saddened. He was the most incredible teacher of English teachers I had ever. I took a couple of his classes at UIC and he supervised my student teaching. I am a veteran teacher of English and writing because of Dan's mentorship and wisdom. I saw him in downtown Chicago and thanked him several years after taking his courses and while I was finishing grad school. Dan was simply an incredible teacher and man of ideas.

Dan was the most amazing high school teacher I ever had! He was the epitome of what Uni high offered, brilliant, challenging and a good friend

Dan was a rare person: gentlemanly and kind, with a droll and impish sense of humor, scholarly and professorial, yet never taking himself too seriously. We were sad when he and Lucia relocated permanently to their
New York home. A loss for our Chicago Jungian community at the time. His death makes that loss deep and permanent.

I am so sorry to hear of Dan's passing. He was a brilliant and engaging gentleman.

Hi Daniel,

I was a student and a collogue of your father at the Chicago Jung Institute. I also met Lucia on several occasions at the Chicago Institute social events. You father was a generous, insightful and soulful individual. When he was on one of my evaluating committees, he gave me precious feedback which had a profound impact on my Self understanding. I will miss him greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at the loss of your father. He will always live...

There was only one Heir Eminent Professor. His wit and wisdom will be missed. All will be in my prayers. -Angela
