David James Kindt, aged 82, passed away on May 13th of this year, leaving behind a legacy of dedication, hard work, and cherished memories. Born in Tatamy, Pennsylvania, David called Hanover Township, Bethlehem his home for many years. He was a graduate of Nazareth High School, where he played center on the Blue Eagles football team and was a pole vaulter on the track team. He served in the US Navy on the USS Forrestal aircraft carrier.
Throughout his career in the technology sector, David made significant contributions to various companies, including Ethicon, a Johnson and Johnson corporation, the Grief Corporation, and the Northampton County Courthouse. His passion for innovation and his steadfast work ethic earned him the respect of colleagues and peers alike. David retired in 2006, leaving behind a lasting impact on the organizations he served.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, David was known for his love of golf and the outdoors. He found joy and relaxation on the green fairways and amidst the natural beauty of the world around him. His enthusiasm for these pursuits brought him closer to friends and family, creating cherished memories that will endure.
David is survived by his brothers, Jack Kindt of Allentown, Robert Kindt of Bethlehem and his three children, Stephanie Ann Kindt of Philadelphia, Natalie Ann Kindt of Warrington and Mark David Kindt of Easton. His brother Fred Kindt of Stratford NJ predeceased him. His presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Friends, family, and loved ones are invited to gather together to commemorate his legacy and share stories of his kindness, humor, and unwavering spirit.

I first met Dave in 1984 when I got my first job in IT as a programmer. Throughout the years as we worked together, we became good friends, and we kept in touch after we both retired in 2006. He had a great sense of humor, and he taught me a lot. I will miss seeing his wonderful smile when I return to PA.

Dave and I shared a passion for gardening as our properties were along side each other. Dave took terrific care of his lawn. Besides cutting it twice a week, he removed every dandelion by hand and it was totally weedless! We were neighbors for over 20 years and I will miss his wit and dry sense of humor.

"A sailor has passed away today." You failed to make your battle stations during general quarters. David, you are now relieved from your watch. A job well done fellow navy veteran. We all are grateful for your stepping up to the plate when your country needed you the most. The USS Forrestal is now on station preparing for your final departure. The plank is in place and honor guards are stationed. The final volley has sounded and taps is about to sound ending a successful career as a nation“s defender. Smooth sailing shipmate. A Navy Vietnam Veteran.
