Terry Lindsay was so wonderful. And so wonderful to me, personally.
He gave me the best compliment of my 40 yrs in the car business.
I was switching my name plate on my office door to my married name.
He was walking by and stopped and said 
“What are you DOING?! You can’t do that! You’re a rockstar!”
I adored him.
Jennifer REARDON-just for him.

Dear Lindsay Family 
Kevin and I are so sorry for your loss! We will keep you in our prayers and May all the souls of the Faithful departed rest in peace! 
With love Kara and Kevin Carroll 

I met Mr. Lindsay at a low point in my life.  He hired me at Lindsay Auto and changed my life for the better.  I treasured all the talks we had about sports and our Catholic faith.  He raised three fine sons as well as taking care of hundreds of employees.  What a great man.

I am so sorry to have missed the burial Mass of your Father. In Baltimore physically, but mentally there in spirit. 
Your Dad was an incredible human being. He always started the conversation off with “how are you” or “how is Margaret”, my daughter. It was never,  ever about himself.
Years ago when I had the privilege of shining your Dads shoes, (which really didn’t need it), his generosity was beyond the pale.  His payment for his shine, and an uplifting conversation, was a definite contribution to all those high tuition bills that I was faced with, that we have all experienced in this area. I would actually say God put him there as a guardian angel in my life. 
There will be a huge void in everyone’s life going forward, but I can hear him saying now…let’s get on with this thing called living.
May his journey be speedy to once again be with all his loved ones who have gone before him. 
God bless all.

I remember the first time I met Mr.  Lindsay,  he came up to me, gave me a hug and spoke like he had known me all his life.   He made feel so at ease and he thanked me for being there.  Such a wonderful man who will be missed.   Working for the Lindsay Family has been one of my greatest experiences in my life.   I am so grateful that I was a part of Mr. Lindsay's life.   He is a man that will never be forgotten.
My condolences to the family, 
Gloria McArtor 


It was a great thrill for me to work with Mr. Lindsay. I was a part-time worker but my office was near Mr. Lindsay‘s and whenever he came in he came over and talked  to me. We realized we had so much in common. A real gentleman and caring person. I am retired now and live out of state and treasure my time knowing him 

To a Great Man, I wish I would have met, God Bless.

To the Lindsay Family, we were saddened to hear of Mr Lindsay’s passing. Keeping you all in our prayers. He was loved by so many and we hope that you can find some comfort at this time of loss in all the love and fond memories shared. What a iconic man who touched so many and he will be greatly missed. 
Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their Souls and the souls of all the faithfully departed, through the mercy of God, Rest In Peace. Amen
Much love The Abrittain and Williams Families 

Grateful to have had the chance to meet Terry in my time here at Lexus. To his core, a man of class, integrity and loyalty. Just with his smile and a warm handshake he had a way of making you feel like you were the most important person in the room. My thoughts and prayers are with the Lindsay family. 

Mrs. Lindsay, Chip, Mike and Chris, the Bowden Family offer our sincere condolences for your loss of such a wonderful and caring man.  Mr. Lindsay and your family impacted us in such a positive way that we could never express our true admiration and appreciation.  Our lives changed forever working for the Lindsay family and we will always be grateful to all of you.  Mr. Lindsay touched so many lives we wanted all to know our family was one.  May God bless you and bring you comfort.

My father James Frank Fooshe’ passed away when I was about 6 years old, I was blessed to have many amazing role models from the neighborhood to look up to and learn from.  Terry Lindsay was at the top of that list and I recall his flying us up to Giants Stadium for a football  game when I was very young.  I think I even got to meet Joe Thiesmann but what a huge impact this had. 

My mother worked at the dealership, has many great memories as well and sends her condolences.  Terry  was always looking out for other people and always interested in what you were doing.  He leaves behind an amazing legacy and wonderful family.  I feel very blessed to have known him and our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time.

Sincerely,
The Fooshe Family 

I represented the Washington Area Cadillac Dealers from 1990 til 1999 for Advertising and later Lindsay Cadillac as a stand alone dealership. Terry Lindsay was the premier dealer and true gentleman among that group.  I clearly remember that Graham McNamee, Sales Manager of Lindsay Cadillac, during that time always called Terry Lindsay, "Mr. Lindsay", although Graham was significantly older.  It was out of sheer respect which was well earned by Terry.  
Terry Lindsay had a firm handshake and bright smile when he greeted you.  I felt those physical expressions were genuine and heartfelt.  It was a sincere pleasure to represent Lindsay Cadillac and the Lindsay organization. Every campaign/message I wrote and then broadcast expressing the professionalism and integrity as to how he did business was not only the truth it was factual in every aspect of how he lead his company.  
His legacy did not end with business, his family has remained steadfast to his values in how to live a meaningful life. 
Charles T. "Terry" Lindsay of Blessed Memory.

Thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

To The Lindsay Family,

I’m very sorry to hear of Terry’s passing. He was one of the most generous & kind persons I’ve ever met. He was like a father to me when I worked for Cadillac. Sending Mrs. Lindsay & all the Lindsay’s my sincerest condolences & prayers. Truly a great man that will be missed. 

Lindsay Family,

I had the pleasure of meeting Terry in 1981 when assigned to the Cadillac Washington Zone and later the SE Region.  He was the ultimate upbeat guy, a Hall of Fame Automotive Retailing partner, generous and true Class!!!
His smile and warmth was very special.

Irreplaceable! Even the briefest conversation with Terry filled our day with sunshine. Heaven just enrolled a superstar

Mrs. Lindsay and Family,
Mr. Lindsay was one of the most positive people that I have ever met.  It seems that he never had a bad day.  His kind words and energy always brought a smile to my face and a sigh of happiness to the room.  Today, he is smiling in heaven while reflecting on a life well lived.  
My prayers for comfort and peace are with you all.
