Elmer R. Lindsay ’50

 “Bo” died suddenly March 23, 2016, in Monterey County, Calif. He was a popular physician, avid fly fisherman, prolific painter, collector, and tennis buff.

He graduated from the Haverford School. At Princeton he belonged to Quadrangle and majored in biology. After receiving his medical degree from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in June 1954, he married Mary Williams, a Pembroke graduate.

Following a year’s internship at University Hospital in Madison, Wis., he served two years in the Army in Alaska. He returned to Madison, where he completed his residency in internal medicine. Then, with his wife, Mary, and two children, he moved to Turlock in central California, where he started a practice that he sustained for 32 years. After his retirement Bo moved to Pacific Grove, Calif., and remained involved in medicine with Locum Tenens around the country and volunteering at a nearby free clinic.

Bo pursued his passion for fly-fishing by traveling throughout the western United States and New Zealand. His paintings won prizes in local competitions. His collections included coins, fractional currency, and first-edition books dealing with the outdoors.

He leaves behind his beloved family: Mary; children Richard, Mary, Tom, and Janet; 12 grandchildren; and brother Dave ’45.
