INDIAN LAND, SC – Robert Dale Lindsley, 90, a loving husband, dad, grandpa, and great-grandpa died peacefully in his sleep on Monday, July 28, 2025.  He was born on January 13, 1935, in Indianola, Iowa, the only child of the late Paul and Marie Lindsley.  His family moved to Detroit where he met and later married his high school sweetheart, Janet Richardson, the love of his life for 64 years.  Bob was a proud patriot who served in the US Army and always flew his American flag. 

Bob worked for Curtis Industries for 53 years, where he was a top salesman and only recipient of their Lifetime Achievement Award.  Bob was a member of the Christian Home Sunday School class at Providence United Methodist Church and with a servant’s heart, volunteered at “Room in the Inn.”

Bob was very passionate about his relationship with the Lord, his family and friends, helping others in need, coaching Little League Baseball, playing golf with The Grumpy Old Men, Tarheel basketball and the Atlanta Braves.  Bob was always very positive, had an engaging personality, a great sense of humor, and a smile that lit up the room.
