My prayers and thoughts to the family of Cousin Lindy. I will always remember his great smile, bright sparkling eyes and great joy for life.
While we only had a short time with Lindy he was a great man and a wonderful neighbor, who my 4 year daughter adored very much. Our love and prayers go out to his family. God Bless you Lindy and may you rest in peace.
Maxine, Patti, Janet and Linda, our prayers are with you. Lindy was such a wonderful friend to my dad and he was always so much fun to be around. I just saw him in September and he always made me feel so special. I will miss him. Our love to you. Colleen and Greg Williams
Please know our hearts and prayers are with you as you travel this road. Our love—
***DEAR LINDA AND FAMILY***
I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I DO
CARE AND DO SHARE YOUR SORROW.
DAN’L DEAR, I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE
LOST YOUR GOLFING BUDDY, AND I KNOW HOW THAT HURTS.
WE WEEP, NOT FOR HIM BUT FOR OURSELVES, FOR HE HAS GONE TO A FAR BETTER WORLD, WHERE PAIN AND SUFFERING ARE UNKNOWN. IT IS IN THIS BEAUTIFUL, PEACEFUL MEADOW WHERE HE AWAITS YOUR ARRIVAL SOMEDAY.
KNOW THAT ALL OF YOU REMAIN IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.
MY SYMPATHY, MY LOVE, BUT MOST OF ALL, MY PRAYERS.
Cousin Lindy was a big part of my family and my life. He and my Dad were first cousins, but had a love and brotherhood of family and deep commitment to being men of honor and integrity. They were loyal, dedicated steelworkers and union men. Lindy brought those “Union Christmas Stockings” to our house so that daddy made sure I and my cousins got them. That was a sampling of his kindess, generosity, compassion, devotion. He was loving and kind to my daddy Tudor and “Little Nel,” as Lindy called my mom. Thank you, Maxine and Family, for giving Lindy that perpetual smile. He was wonderful, faith-filled, inspirational. What joy to know that Lindy was a blessing to many. It’s hard to imagine him gone from us physically, but people like Lindy live in hearts forever. He was loved and respected. Thank you, God, for Lindy. Thank you, Lindy, for love and care of me. Your “Little Cuz,” Lois
It is very sad news to hear of Mr Palermos passing. He was a very nice man. We enjoyed seeing him and his family on Saturday nights as they came in for dinner. He always had a bright smile and a good word for everybody he came in contact with. He will be sadly missed by both staff and Management at Papa Jose’s
My Uncle Lindy a Man of kindness, compassion and who was loved by many. A man that loved Jesus that showed in his life. Fond memories of him when I was growing up. What a blessing to have a husband,father, and grandfather like Him Although he will be greatly missed we know that he is now reunited with his father & mother that when he spoke of them you could see the love in his eyes. And to be with Uncle Jimmy, Aunt Kay, my Mom and Aunt Edie what a joy for him. As for us that remain behind rejoice that the Lord certainly blessed us for knowing him! My deepest sympathy to each one of you may you be comforted with wonderful memories in the days to come. Love to you all. Cathy
So sorry to hear of the passing of Mr Palermo. We only knew of him through the numerous loving comments of his daughter Janet and grandson Ryan. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Janet and Jim,
Our deepest condolences. While we only met your father for a short period, it was obvious he was a loving and caring person. He will be missed by all of us.
