William Henry Lindenmayer

Born:  July 9, 1936

Died:  February 1, 2003

My sweet uncle Bill was a long time member of Bellevue Baptist Church. 

He was a gifted concert pianist, church organist, and music teacher.

His gift to mankind was his music.

He shared this talent teaching young people.

Long after his retirement from the public school system,

he continued teaching piano in Bellevue's "Performing Arts Center."

Music in heaven is most definitely enriched by his arrival. 

Billy was one of my greatest cheerleaders through out my life.

We all miss him so much!

Billy was the third child born to my grandparents. 

Because Billy was several years younger than my Uncle Dave and my Mom,

and also because he was born crippled, 

my Mother and Dave always looked out for him. 

They were very close.  

After Dave's death, my Mother even became more protective over Billy. 

He was always there in my family, 

as he had never married or had children of his own. 

He was a quiet, sweet gentle and talented man.

Three Siblings, who stuck together through thick and thin.

He lived next door to me and we shared the same back yard. 

I miss hearing his beautiful piano music and his marvelous laugh.
