Mr. Gene Lindsay

[Palomino]

Very sad news, I first met Gene in 2004 when he traveled all the way from Tennessee to Indiana to play in the 2004 District 6-Indiana State Checker
Tournament, he finished in second place that year and then returned in 2005 to win the tournament. We missed having Gene here the past two
tournaments, understandably so and largely due to his involvement in organizing the Tennessee State GAYP Tournament which is played in Morristown
Tennessee the preceding weekend to our tournament . Gene was an outstanding player and shared his love of the game by working to promote
it to others. Checkers and we who play the game have suffered a great loss and Gene will certainly be missed.

Alan, I'm reminded of Matthew 5:23, "if ... you remember your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the alter and go at
once to make peace with him; then come back and offer your gift to God." At this time it is especially good to know that things were recently put right
between you and Gene. It's a sad thing that it was largely if not totally due to a misunderstanding.

Here's a picture I took of you and Gene playing a game during the 2004 6th District/Indiana State Tourney.

Regards, "Pal" Bucker

Hello Pal:

You and others have offered comforting words . Nice photo of Gene and myself playing. I leave this afternoon for the Ohio State Tournament and Gene will be on my mind to be sure. I also note many nice online condolances at the funeral home's site in Tennessee.

Sincerely:
Alan Millhone, President
American Checker Federation

Hi Everyone,
Just received this sad news. So hard to believe. Gene was a true gentleman. On behalf of the World Checkers Draughts Federation (WCDF) I offer our sincere condolences to Betty and his family at this time. Hugh Devlin, President.

I met Gene in 1988 and found him to be a fine gentleman and a wonderful player. I was informed of his passing during the recent Welsh Open which left me in a state of shock and profound sadness. From myself and on behalf of the Welsh Draughts Association I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to Gene's family.
