This weeks Tombstone Tuesday post is for Richard (Bud) Almer Lindsay, born 19 December 1918 in Washington DC and died 24 February 1987 in Detroit, Michigan. Although he was not a blood relative, he was the only grandpa I knew, and one of my sons is named after him (you can read about my thoughts on non-blood relations in my post - Blood is Not Always Thicker). He was all-but-married to my grandmother, Teresa Pakledinaz; they were together for 30+ years.
He is buried in Pipe Creek Cemetery in Union Bridge, Maryland along side his sister and parents. My Grandmother’s ashes lay with him. You can find his find-a-grave memorial here: Richard Almer Lindsay, where you can leave him some flowers and a message if you want.
Thanks for reading and keep diggin’ for that family.
Chris

I know what you mean. Some people are more like family than some of the blood relatives.
