As a boy I remember Fuzzy and can still hear his DivCo milk truck pulling up in front of the house on North Nevada Drive in the early morning. He always had a smile and always treated my Mom Erma Fuller with kindness and respect. He was a good man....Tom Fuller

If there's one thing that I think of when I think of Lindsay, it is that he was forever young...There was an energy around him that was irresistible and inspiring - and made people want to be around him. He was always ready to laugh at a joke, and make jokes of his own, with that trademark twinkle in his eye. Being in Canada, I've never lived near Lindsay, but can only imagine the impact that he has made on his neighbours and communities - whether through his career as a milkman, his involvement in his church, or his contributions as a volunteer firefighter (and doubtless more). I'll miss our phone calls and visits dearly, but know that he'll live on in all of those that he touched so deeply. Farewell Dear Lindsay - I appreciate you. <3<3

Lindsay was simply the best. A lifetime of public service, a man of faith and a good good friend to many. His example of a life lived selflessly inspired us which would have humbled him. Lindsay would look at you, eye to eye, and say "I appreciate you". He would really mean it, that was as powerful and personal as it gets. I am proud to say that Lindsay was my friend, and even prouder to say that he called me his friend. God speed Lindsay we love you too!

My sisters and I have fond memories of "Laughing Boy" as our mother lovingly called our milkman.
He brought milk to us in the fifties on Madrona Drive in Longview and then in the sixties to our home on Wildwood Dr. One morning (I was five years old) he slipped and dropped his cargo, breaking a bottle and cutting his hand. He came up to our door grinning and showing our mother what had happened. Hence the name. All three of us fondly remember your Lindsey Chatterton. We remember that he "lived" and are glad of it. Our mother's heart instinctively knew the good guys and she loved him.
