Robert Paul Lindsey

LINDSEY Robert Paul Lindsey, 77, passed away on Friday, November 27, 2009. Mr. Lindsey was born on April 10, 1932 in Schenectady, NY to the late William and Edna (Jordan) Lindsey. He was a retired U. S. Army and Coast Guard Veteran and also served as a fire fighter in Miami, FL.

I deeply regret the passing of Bob we came on the
department on October 6 1958, promoted to first class together July 24 1961. We wound up together in 1967 on Chemical 5c. He was a hell of a firefighter and role model and a dear friend. I cherish my time at 5C commonly refered to as the ZOO. With Bob, Dave LaCroix, Gerald Camp, Shorty, Rick Beecham, OJ (old John)Gerry, Danny Givens (the kid who made superman look like an under achiever)George Scott, and Piggy aka Bill Miles. A group where I can't never was in their vocabulary. Will miss you Bob. Dan Tapp

My heartfelt condolences to Dottie and family on Bobs passing. Bob has been a good friend of mine since 1965 when I was shanghaied to Station 5C to be Bob's alternate driver on Chemical 5. We both joined the Miami Springs Power Boat Club, (Stiltsville) in 1966 and spent countless hours together diving for lobster in the finger channels.

Station 5C was quite the place! A lot of good people and a lot of good stories came out of there and I'm sure we will be bringing up many stories of Bob at future reunions. He was quite unique and will be missed. Farewell Brother.
