“Doc” as many affectionately knew him had a numerous list of hobbies and interests. Those who had the privilege of knowing Doc would remember him as a Buffalo Bills fan as well as a great guitarist earning the name the “Midnight Picker.” He was a man who was anything but a stranger to having fun in that, he found great joy in making people smile. He enjoyed spare time being outdoors where he could be barbecuing , camping, hunting, fishing, or riding motorcycles. Doc also enjoyed his time scraping metal. Doc was a strong willed man who possessed a wealth of knowledge and will no doubt be missed by all of those who knew him.

A memorial gathering will be held on Saturday, February 3, 2024 from 4 p.m. until the time of his Memorial Service at 6 p.m., officiated by Pastor Bryan Smith.

DeClue Funeral Home was honored to have served the family of Mr. David Lindke.
