There are som many memories I have of my dad, but what sticks the most about him was his very structured lifestyle. He was so accustomed to the militaristic schedule that he lived his life that way. He was always up by 5 am, lunch was between 11 - 11:30, and in retirement he had to eat dinner at 4:30 pm. As kids we couldn’t be home late anytime we were with friends. He was called a “drill sergeant” as opposed to our dad by some, but he taught us to be on time, and courteous. I am the person I am today because of his coaching. I miss our “bantering” already dad! Thank you for the memories and your love. Until we meet again , I love you!
Uncle Len always spoke to me like what I had to say mattered. He took us on excurisions to Luray Caverns and we would spend a week with them going swimming and their wonderful hospitality has stayed with me for a lifetime. He had a wonderful sense of humor and we often had thoughtful conversations. Thank you Uncle Len for all the wonderful memories. Rest in God’s peace. You are dearly loved.

Lindsey was the oldest of four children and I am the youngest. He entered the Air Force at 17 so Mother had to sign giving him permission to join. Because I was only three at the time, my first real memory of him was when he came home on leave after being overseas. I was visiting my grandmother two doors down from our house, and I saw a taxi stop in front of the house and saw my mother go running out and grab and hug the young man who exited the taxi. I had to know who that was. I ran for home and became acquainted with my big brother for the first time. Now I say "goodbye" for the last time. I love you brother. Peggy (Wyatt) Wallace.
