When Roy and Charlie Lindgren moved into Friendly Village MHP in March of 2005, I was the Manager at that time. Every Thursday morning the FV men gathered at the Clubhouse to share coffee, donuts, and lots of different topics from politics, families, news in the Park, sports….
There was always some bantering and teasing and laughs as well. They all enjoyed and respected one another. As time went by, I became good friends with Roy and Charlie. We would go to the Soho Teriyaki restaurant owned by Roy’s friend Lisa. When Roy moved into Capital Place and subsequently The Firs, I would visit as often as possible. I had already retired and so was able to visit him more often. I enjoyed every conversation we had. Roy was such an interesting man. His knowledge and understanding of things and situations was awesome. We most of all enjoyed sharing our conversations of Charlie. One of Roy’s favorite restaurants was Izzy’s Buffet on Pacific Avenue and so “we three” would go whenever we could. One of Charlie’s favorite things to do is go out together to eat and so I would pick up Charlie first and he’d always say “I’ll sit in the back so Roy can sit in the front – that would be better.” Charlie and I will continue on being friends and doing the things he likes to do – and I am grateful for that. And I will fondly remember my Gentleman Friend Roy Lindgren until we meet again.

Roy Lindgren was my neighbor and I got to know him well when he asked me to work for him, typing his hand written manuscripts. His eyesight had been failing him for years. Previously he did his own typing, and he wrote knowledgeably about political topics, for he was very engaged with people and the world we all share his whole life (I believe.), and most notably as he aged. I admired him for his sharp mind and his unending interests, especially when it came to improvements. He wanted everyone to live well. He spoke lovingly of his family, but quite uniquely he hoped for all people to live well, or at least better. Above all Roy was kind, very, very kind. It was my honor to get to know him, and to work for him and with him. If I live with a disability at some point in my own life, Roy will be my inspiration for how to keep on keeping on, and never give up!

To my Dearest, Darlingest Father,
You have been gone for two months and a week. I know you are near by and watching over us, sometimes I can feel your presence, for which I am grateful. I have the full understanding of why they say to take a lot of pictures. I look at your photo on the fridge and understand that in this world you are now just an image, reduced to a flat piece of paper, just a tiny glimpse of what you used to be, the best father anyone could hope to ever have! I know you are better off now, free in Spirit and no longer encumbered by your frail 94 year old body. You are gone, never to return to our world. We must go to yours someday, and we all shall. Meanwhile, I now understand the permanence of death. And it is with sorrow, beyond measure, I let you go… For some silly reason, I thought we would have you with us forever. I know you are with me forever. But I miss you terribly now. Rest in peace until we can meet once again. I love you, always, always, forever… ~.~,
Your Daughter

Dr. Lindgren, who I always heard referred to as “Daddy”, was always kind, polite, thoughtful, gentle and caring. He always seemed interested in others. I was impressed with his modest manner. That seems like the measure of greatness… someone who is exemplary in character, yet would never dream of being boastful. I like to think of him now as joyfully reunited with Thelma, his siblings and parents. What a grand reunion party they must have held!

Dear Roy,
I’m not sure you have email access where ever you are at the moment so I’ll just assume you’re reading over my shoulder as I type in this gorgeous Seattle sunshine.
I’ll always think of you as the uber-chill, first former husband of my Mom that was so evolved and practical that he was grateful to be a guest at the house of my Mom’s second former husband, Thieu. I used to brag about that scenario to friends complaining of high drama, parental relationships.
I’ll also miss the way you could tell jokes that astonishingly never repeated themselves and often started with the cliche, “Did you here the one about…?”
Carry on, and say Hi to my Dad for me.
Peace & Love,
David

I only knew ROY for a few years, but in that short time, I have realized I had met someone very special. He was a genuine person, with a great deal of knowledge, both experienced through years on this earth, and literarily learned. He saw the world as it was and as it has become. I believe he was concerned with others more than him self. I also believe he was serious about a change for others that would better others lives and futures. He will be missed

As Roy was the Father of my two older sisters, I have known him all my life, through visits to his family in the Washington DC area, and then after he settled here in the Northwest. He was a model of caring for others and constantly seeking to improve the world in his own quiet, persistent, and passionate manner. During his more than 9 decades of life, Roy had an impact in so many realms…as a physician, a public health officer, and a Father. Amidst the sadness of losing him, there is much to celebrate as well from his life & legacies.

It was my honor to meet Roy and get to know him a little bit through some real estate transactions. I knew him to be kind, generous, and very knowledgeable. What I did not know is how accomplished he was, or that he and I are both native Iowans. My sincere condolences to the entire family. The world will be a little less bright without Roy in it.

My Uncle Roy Lindgren was the youngest of my Dad’s siblings and since I was the youngest of three boys we had a special bond. Dr. Roy Lindgren always inspired me, especially in the many visits to Washington, D.C. over the years. His kindness (along with Aunt Thelma) meant so much to me. May he rest in peace after a long and productive life of service to mankind! An era has ended with his passing. I trust the eight brothers and sisters in the Frank and Amy Lindgren family of Lanyon, Iowa have been reunited. Thanks Grandpa Frank for finding America and your adventure from Sweden.

Roy and his Maryland family have been friends of my family here in Maryland for at least 40 years. I have remained in contact with Roy and talked to him often since he moved to Olympia. He was the quintessential “officer and a gentleman,” and one of the kindest and most generous persons I have ever known. He was always working behind the scenes to do something special–not only for his family, but for anyone in need. If you knew of a problem, you had only to mention it to Roy, and his mind went to work on how best to solve it. He was tireless in his efforts to make this country a better place to live, and to make our government one that would be more responsive to the needs of its citizens. I know all his friends and family feel a vacuum in a world without Roy–I know I do. My deepest sympathy and love go to all his family.
Doris
