Buddy Lindsey, Sr.

Buddy G. Lindsey, Sr., 78, of Baton Rouge, went to be with his Lord and Savior on November 1, 2017.

Buddy was a friend to many. He always had a smile on his face, a twinkle in his eye and love in his heart. He was born in Iron City, TN and spent his youth in Savannah, GA. In 1968, he moved to Baton Rouge, where he founded Lindsey's Spacewalk & Amusements. Buddy embodied the company slogan "Here Comes Fun!", as his favorite pastime was bringing joy to children and those in need. Even after selling Lindsey's, Buddy could often be found about town delivering marshmallow shooters and other toys from his woodshop. Buddy lived a life of service as a Mason, a Gideon, and a volunteer at Angola Prison.

Buddy Lindsey is survived by his wife of 56 years, Jeanell Howell Lindsey; his daughters, Sherlyn Lindsey Waghalter (Sam) of Gulf Breeze, FL, and Melissa Lindsey Bezet (Larry) of Baton Rouge; his brother, Robert Lindsey (Margie) and sister, Ruth Talley (Talley), both of Savannah, GA. He is also survived by three grandchildren, Brian Waghalter (Cristina) of Santa Rosa Beach, FL, Caroline Waghalter of Pensacola, FL, and Nicolas Bezet of Baton Rouge. Buddy was blessed to recently meet his first great-grandchild, Arabella Waghalter.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Homer and Lillie Lindsey; his son, Buddy Lindsey, Jr.; and his grandson, Mark Waghalter.
