Hello. This is Sonia from Lids Locker Room. I am sorry that you have left us, but I know you are in a better place. Your Wife came in the store today to buy you an Alabama hat. She told me what happened. I gave her a hug and told her that I would pray for the family. Y'all are the nicest people and I never mind helping y'all. Mrs. Doris can come visit me anytime. God Bless and I know you are watching your family from a better place. May you rest in peace. I wish I can order you a National Championship hat this year.

- Sonia Burgos, Savannah, GA

I know daddy was thrilled to see you because you were his favorite person. Tell him hello for me and that we miss and love him so much!

WE WILL MISS YOU MY BROTHER.

- Gary Lindsay, Wichita Falls, TX

Thirty two years ago I was blessed to become a member of the Lindsay family. Being the oldest of three girls I didnt know what it was like to have older siblings. I quickly found out how blessed I was to inherit three older sisters and three older brothers. Although Tollie was very quiet and shy I always knew that he accepted me as Kinnon's wife. In later years he even told me he loved me and was glad that Kinnon had me for his wife. This meant the world to me because Kinnon thought that Tollie hung the moon! I am so thankful to have had Tollie in my life and am so thankful for all of the times he was there for us, expecting nothing in return. Rest in peace Tollie Lindsay! I know you are up there with David, Dennis, Tommy, and Kinnon and your wonderful mother. You are no longer suffering and you and Kinnon can yell 'Roll Tide' on the streets of gold! You were truly one of the best men I have ever known and I will love and miss you always.

- Judy Lindsay, Savannah, GA

RIP Uncle Tollie. You were a great man and will truly be missed.

- Matthew Lindsay, New York, NY

You will be missed Uncle Tollie. While I didn't know you that well, I know that you're humble and genuine spirit was truly inspiring. I always appreciated your peaceful nature and it's surely a loss to lose a great man like you. Rest in Peace.

- Olivia Unemori, New York, NY

My Sweet Uncle Tollie, I remember so vividly how you use to make us all laugh with your jokes and impersonations. I also remember how much you loved your family and how happy you were to see us when we came to visit in Savannah. You were such a wonderful man and will be missed by so many. God speed and safe home to you my Uncle. I love you. Gracie~

- Grace Lindsay, RIverside, IA

Tollie was the closest person I had in my life to a Father figure. He was a great man who cared about others more than he did for himself. I'm thankful that he was such a huge part of my life. Rest in peace, Tollie. I love you.

Doris and Kay, I am so sorry for your loss.

You will never be forgotten!

- Daniel J. Brown, Port Wentworth, GA

Tollie was my brother-in-law but was a brother to me and loved by my children. We all loved Tollie and will miss him very much. I first met Tollie when I was in the 7th grade at Greenwood Jr. High School in Jefferson County, Alabama. Tollie was a shy person with a great sense of humor. You would be surprised at some of the things he could come up with. He took care of his Mother, brothers and sisters. He did not have a selfish bone in his body. He loved his Doris very much. He would tell me she was one of the best things that every happened to him. We will meet again someday on the streets of gold. We love you Tollie. My prayers are with Doris and all the rest of the family. I love you all too. Betty
