May the fond memories of Mr. LJ McDaniel bring you all comfort during this hard time in your life. Our heart and prayers go out to the family. With much Love! The Cooley Family

My condolences and prayers to your family. I worked with Linsey at Lockheed for many years. We could always count on him to do a good complete job with his assignments. He liked talking about his family and sports. I hope he told you about his first Lockheed trip I sent him on to New York City and Connecticut. He and I laughed about it for several years.

Sadly I didn't get around to hearing more of my uncles funny(true) stories. Growing up and now, I was so proud to call him my uncle. I have often heard from many of his students that he was not only their teacher but truly a role model. A smart, mlld-mannered leader till the end...He will truly be missed. Shirley Mims Mosley

My deepest condolences to y'all, Lindsey was a true gentleman and a great person who always brought joy to any room he was in. It was my pleasure to work with him while he was on the City Council for several years.
