Thomas Starr Lindersmith

We ALL miss your father deeply! He was an inspiration to my staff as well as myself. We will miss, as I the most, his banter, thoughts and suggestions in and for the Dining Room. As I arrive daily for work, he would be on his patio, reading the daily news. As I approached, I would whistle. His response was"HEY". I miss that and I still look everyday and "whistle". He is truly missed by all...especially myself.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I served under Tom at Lakeridge and later when he was VP at Waluga. His daughter Lara and my daughter Kimm were friends in high school. Tom's greatest gift was his love for kids of all ages. Surely another era moves on with his passing.

Tom hired me to teach English at Lakeridge in the summer of 1981. We began our tenure there together that September. He was an excellent principal, and our students recognized and appreciated his fairness. He took great pride in his own family, and the Lakeridge family missed him when he moved on. He was a good man.

We are sorry to learn of the passing of Thomas, but grateful for his service to our nation, inlcuding his service with the United States Peace Corps.

Our Condolences,
The National Peace Corps Association

Tom hired me at Lakeridge High School. I owe him a debt of eternal gratitude for that. I have had a fantastic 29 year math teaching career there, and he made that all possible by saying 'yes' when I applied for the job. My memories of Tom are of a good and kind man and excellent principal who presided over a school that was outstanding in every way.
