He graduated from what was referred to as Baltimore City College and bravely enlisted in the United States Navy.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a sister, Patricia.

Survivors include his wife of 41 years, Alice (Gagnon) Lindsay; children, Denise Cuevas, David Lindsay, Kari Lindsay, and Jessica Lindsay; many grandchildren, including Jason and Jacquline Lindsay; a sister, Kathy Mayfield.
