Larry Marshal Lindsey
June 29, 1949 – April 28, 2019
Larry Marshal Lindsey departed this life April 28, 2019 after a period of declining health. Prior, Larry was a catalyst that brought many a smile to others’ faces. He worked hard his entire life, beginning at Watson Electrical Construction Company right out of apprenticeship school. He worked his way up to Vice-President of the company. He was an amazing electrical contractor and had the respect of his peers as well as the companies for which he worked. His contracting skills eventually led him to other companies, but he never forgot his coworkers and friends. If someone needed a job, Larry would make sure he found one for them.
Larry was a dedicated man. He was especially dedicated to his wife, Joyce of Wilson who survives him. They were married forty-nine years. Larry was also a dedicated father to Heather Stewart and husband, Lance of Savannah, Georgia who also survives him. He was a loving “Grappa” to his two granddaughters, Mia and Indie Stewart.
Since Larry worked so hard, he loved his downtime. “Good food, good friends, and family” was a favorite motto. On the weekends, you would find him on the deck in front of one of his many grills, smilingly saying, “It doesn’t get any better than this!”
All in all, Larry was a well-respected man who always had a smile on his face; he would like to be remembered that way.
The family will receive friends Thursday from 6 - 7 p.m. in the sanctuary of Forest Hills Presbyterian Church, 1100 Forest Hills Road, Wilson. A memorial service will follow starting at 7 p.m. Thursday officiated by his longtime friend, Reverend Keith Cobb and Pastor Chris Greenwood of Forest Hills Presbyterian Church.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials to be made to Forest Hills Presbyterian Church,
1100 Forest Hills Road NW, Wilson, North Carolina 27896.
