Harry W. Lindsey

Harry W. Lindsey, a resident of Monroeville, Pennsylvania, passed away on December 3 at age 91. Born and raised in Syracuse, New York, he attended the Onondaga Valley Academy, and Syracuse University before enlisting in the U.S. Army. He was assigned the Army Security Agency, first stations in Frankfurt, then Bad Aibling, Germany from 1954-1957. He specialized in electronics and equipment repair. Due to the Cold War, that base served as a listening post focused on Yugoslavia, and Harry maintained their listening equipment. Upon returning to Syracuse, he joined the Heavy Military division of General Electric. Soon thereafter, G.E. asked Harry to report to Shemya, Alaska (in the Aleutians) for 18 months, working on over-the-horizon radar directed toward Russia at Shemya Air Force Base, now known as Eareckson Air Station. Later, he moved on to marketing semiconductors for G.E. and transferred to the Auburn, NY plant. When that plant closed he was transferred to Powerex, of Youngwood, PA, a joint venture of G.E., Westinghouse, and Mitsubishi. Throughout his life, he enjoyed sketching and painting nature. Upon retirement, he took his first art class at CCAC and became a talented watercolor artist. In 1992, he was awarded the Golden Sable award by the Monroeville Arts Council. He joined various art groups, and was a long-time member of the Norwin Art League. His paintings are in several private collections throughout the U.S. He volunteered at Ramsey Elementary School and was presented with the Resident Recognition Award for Distinguished Service from the Municipality of Monroeville Marlins. Harry was predeceased by his parents, Carol Stoltzenau Lindsey and Harry W. Lindsey, Sr. as well as his sister Faith L. Scholl and his first wife Marjorie. He is survived by his brother John (Mary) Lindsey of Riverbank, California. He is survived by his wife Diane and daughters Meg Lindsey (Michael Braunstein) of Chicago and Lisa E. Lindsey of Syracuse. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Shannon Moss Chacon (Carlos) of Centreville, VA, and Jason Moss (Julie) of Liverpool, NY as well as two great grandsons, Matthew and Brandon Chacon.
