Joseph Walter Lindsey

Since the age of two his home has been San Antonio, where he attended Brackenridge High School. He served in the National Guard and, in partnership with his brother Clifton Lindsey, owned and operated Lindsey Oil Company for 34 years. Joseph learned he had terminal pancreatic cancer upon his retirement in 2007.

Joseph will be remembered and loved for his wonderful sense of humor and his caring nature. Hunting was his favorite lifelong endeavor, and many thanks to his son Clayton for helping his Dad enjoy these last two seasons. He will be truly missed at the family card games and by his many friends. His faith never faltered; he was a man among men and a gentleman among women.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Alma (Kempf) Lindsey; sister, Norma Jean; brother, James Lindsey; and wife, Dorothy Marie.

He is survived by his loving wife, Lucille Lindsey; his seven children, Kurt (Dianne), Chris (Jacqueline), Lindy (Brenda), Kenneth (Rebecca), Clayton (Samantha), John (Josette) and Laurie (Harvey); step-children, Daniel (Elizabeth), Judith, Michael (MaryJean), Kenneth and John; grandchildren, Jason (Penny), Michael, Wade, Lisa (Ryan), Vickie (Marcus), Mark, Joshua, Jared, Danielle, Kara, Sara, Kenneth, Jr., Nicholas, Jonathan, Alexandria, Kyle, Paul, Allison, Paige, Skylor, Shauna, Michael, Kristina, and Martha; great-grandchildren, Savannah, Taylor, Gavin, Madeline and Brice; sister, Pauline Wilcox; brothers, Paul (Lorraine), Clifton (Barbara) Lindsey; and numerous cousins, nephews and nieces.

The family extends a big thank you to Joseph's physician for many years, Dr. Scott Horn, M.D., and also his oncologist, Dr. Sharon Wilks, and Vitas Hospice and staff, especially Pat Williams, R.N., for all your caring support.
