Dave Lindsley-A Celebration of Life and Cars

[Xplantdad]

Here are the pictures that I took at the Dave Lindsley Celebration of Life and Cars.

We were honored to be able to attend this wonderful celebration with all of Dave's car buddies, coworkers, business neighbors and two of his childhood friends...Ed Borgia and George Lyons. It was great to see the friends that we've made through Dave again (though we wish it was under different circumstances) and meet some new car folks as well.

Dave and Bird have made impacts on a LOT of peoples lives- and the outpouring of support during these rough times for Bird, Marty and Donna and the Lindsley Construction family show how much people care.

Thanks to Ed Borgia for being there immediately for Bird-and for all the rest you have done. Thanks to George Lyons for what you did as well.

Thanks to Marty and everyone who was responsible for getting this all arranged and set up, manning it (and getting it torn down). You are all amazing people!




There was a great turnout today at the celebration of Dave's life. There were at least 200 people there at the busiest part of the celebration. And quite a few cool muscle cars showed up as well!



Yenko.net was well represented as well...with Mark Sheppard (92646) and his daughter Maddie, Ken Maisano, 69NovaJoe (Joe Camuglia), MSSL72 (Mark), Anthony S and his son Anthony drove from quite a distance,Joe Sheppard (JShep) came as well.


A personal thanks to Craig Maiorana and his wife...who showed up and then came back...to meet up with us!

Here are Dave's cars. Bird his wife is keeping the black L78 Nova.


The wagon has a crate small block, air conditioning and 700R4 overdrive transmission . My wife Lynn is standing in front of the wagon as it was her favorite of Dave's. When Dave found this out...and we visited in December...he made a point to have it in the driveway of the house when we got there. THAT...perfectly exemplified Dave...


The Black Nova is a real L78 Nova-and was close to what Dave's first Muscle Car was...way back in Erie.


The Cross Ram Z28 is a low mile car that was well known in Socal.



The 300 deluxe...Dave bought off of a member of this site with the help of Dan Vasic.


The L79 Nova was from here in AZ and was once owned by Sizzler Wayne from Pavilions.


All of these cars were featured in magazines with the exception of the Nova wagon, though I do think it was in the background of a picture of the feature on the L79 Nova

Bruce,

Thanks so much for sharing Dave`s Celebration with all of us. Great to see many great friends show up....including my good friend Joe (Jshep).

The Mailman Picture.....says it all. Dave touched so many of us. He will always remain in my heart.

You are so correct, Dave was indeed smiling down

Thanks again Bruce....really appreciate YOU!

I enjoyed meeting many of the guys in the forum (Thanks Dan for steering me here!). Thanks Bruce for taking the time out of your day to introduce me to folks. Dave was a great guy and I continue to pray for his family. Bird is awesome. It was a great day for all to celebrate Dave's life.

Two iconic photos I’ve kept in my archive are from this site. Sometimes photos really say way more than any dissertation or commentary can. The guy jamming down the highway in the T-Bucket in the SoCal Car Porn thread is one, and that mailman truck photo is another.

I didn’t know Dave, Bruce, but every time I see that photo it’ll remind me of this thread and his memory will live on a little longer in someone he never knew!! Good on ya, a Buddy!!!

Cheers
Dave
