Edwin Lindsley Jr.

Uncle Ed was always generous and kind to me. Whenever I could visit, he would take time out of his busy schedule and everywhere we went he'd introduce me to friends. One of those men who knew the name of the clerk at the store and the servers at the restaurant because he valued people.

I would like to express my sincere simpathy to the family of Ed Lindsley. He was a very, very good friend of mine who helped me tremendously through the years. He will be missed by many.
