I just was informed of Richard's passing last year.  Dick was a friend whom I met during the 1976 election season.  He and I were "in the race" to become elected officials.  Ever since then, Dick had been a good friends.  I hope his family is doing exceptionally well.  I pray for his soul.

Rest in Peace, Good Friend.

Donna [Bo Bo ] and I were so sorry to hear we had lost your father , Our Love and Strength to Your Family in this time of need .

Your Fathers passing was so unexpected. The way it impacted me was unexpected too. It seems like that happened to a lot of people. I think that speaks to what a special man, father and friend he was. I share in your loss.

So sorry to hear about your loss Dick was a great man ! From All of us at Gorman Co

your dad was always someone who I looked up to. I so enjoyed hearing him tell stories. he was a great story teller. My mom and aunt are so saddened by his death. They will surely miss him as I'm sure all of his girls will. you are all in my thoughts and prayers. He did a good job in raising such strong women.

My heart is saddened with Dick's passing.  While I never had the privilege of meeting Dick in person, I, nonetheless, considered him a friend.  Dick, in his fight for justice, fairness, and freedom, brought empathy and compassion to those whose livelihood was in the hands of the family court system.  We sincerely thank you, Dick, for carrying the torch for freedom and independence and for being our voice.  God bless you!

I am so very sorry for your family's tremendous loss.  Please know that you are in my constant thoughts and prayers.

Thank you, Dick, for the hope and compassion you gave to so many.  Your tireless fight for freedom, justice, and equality will never be forgotten.  You will be missed, terribly.  My thoughts and prayers go to your family.  They were so fortunate to have you as their guiding light.

Dear Jewel and family,  I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad.  May the memories of the time you had together help you through this time.  Love to you and your family.

Rest in peace, Mr Lindsey.
I know you were a great man and father to your girls. You will be missed.

 So glad we got to spend the day with you and your dad a couple of years ago.Dick and Bill had such a good time remembering their days at Conneaut Lake High School and all the great ball games they played together
Please know you and your sisters are in our prayers.

Lindsey family - I am so sorry to hear of Mr Lindsey's passing.

He was a pioneer, an inspiration and a courageous man.

May he rest in peace now.

You will always be in my prayers.  What a wonderful gentleman you are and who grew the best pecans in the state of Florida.  Your dedication to your cause has been admired by many. My sincerest condolences go out to your family, and you will surely be missed.  You are with the Angels now where you belong.

Lindsey family, I am so sorry to hear about Dick.  I remember visiting your home and his kindness when he came to our home in Miami after Hurricane Andrew to clear our home of trees, and to help us gain access to the roads.  He also warmly opened his home for Christmas parties.  The Lindsey family relatives were such an important part of my Grandfather Pfeil's life, as they opened their home to him when his mother died at age 6 and helped to raise him.  My Grandfather always had such nice things to say about the Lindseys and the Freemans.  It seems from the comments in this guest book and Dick's actions that this kindness is carried on for generations.  My sincere condolences.

RIP Mr. Lindsey.  Your activism for bringing attention to the disparity of treatment in Florida's family court system has inspired a grassroots effort of people that cannot be stopped until equality is reached for all.
You are free at last....G

I met with Dick numerous times regarding alimony reform.   He was inspirational and gave others strength in fighting their personal battles.  I will miss him as a strong person who helped others and was very giving of himself for the greater cause.

Dick spoke up when no one else would on an issue controlled by the rich and powerful. He started a movement for proper freedom and fairness which will never be forgotten. Thank you so much for your tireless attention to flawed alimony laws that adversely affects over 30,000 of us in FL alone. Rest In Peace, Dick!!

Please, accept my deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy.

Dick was a man ahead of his time. A pioneer for alimony reform. Through his ground-breaking efforts others have followed across our Nation. The world needs more people like Dick Lindsey. May he rest in peace.

My condolences and prayers go out to you and your entire family.  As a former Floridian and now living in Charlotte, NC, and continuing my own personal fight, I absolutely appreciate all that Mr. Lindsey did for the cause of abolishing permanent alimony.

Dick was the ultimate Justice Fighter and a real gentleman..

To the Lindsey family: I met Dick in 2002 while searching for help with permanent alimony. for several years  we traveled the state together camping out in front of court houses, meeting with legislators raising awareness and a lot of stink. He was kind, intelligent, and generous. A true southern gentleman with a rebel's heart who knew how to be a friend.I will truly miss him. Rest in peace Dick.

Dearest Lindsey Girls,   How well do I remember you at Hobe Sound Bible Academy ,  Fla.  as you were growing up.   All of you were respectful,  kind,  mannerly,  intelligent,  and multi-talented little girls.  I remember how faithful your Mom was to see that you all received a Christian education.  I did not get to meet your Dad,  although I know you loved him,  too.  Sending hugs and prayers to each of you.   You are loved.

My introduction to Dick was through alimony reform.  I was immediately impressed by his love of his daughters and his passion for making our laws better.  He helped start a movement that will help tens of thousands of families.  He was most definitely one of the Good Guys. We'll miss him.

May your eternity be as your life was.....rest in peace.....our sincere sympathy to your family.

Rip brother Richard I only remember seeing you once but you were a very fun and loving guy lord bless your family at this time Kris's and randy Noll
