I just found this site - and wanted to say a few words. It is way after Tom's passing but I still feel compelled to leave a note. Perhaps some of his family will see yet one more person who loved Tom.
Tom was a wonderful person and I absolutely enjoyed working with him. I worked for a little company and Tom was my main contact at Intel. We worked with each other over several years - with our side trying to gain access to Intel and his firm control over what would be considered as a useful product... He put us through the paces. OK, the wringer. But he also did it with a sly smile. He knew our stuff was better than any alternative.
One thing that makes me chuckle when I think of Tom is that he was a Yankees fan - and as I was from the Boston area I was a Sox fan. We had a permanent tension. I recall some late-night conference call in 2004 shortly after Boston had proceeded to the World Series against the Cardinals... and the poor Yankees were retired for the season. As a rude Bostonian - I made sure Tom new of my joy. I could smell the smoke coming from the other end of the phone (this was way before Zoom videos.)
He still said yes to our product.
I leave you with a photo I have kept for many years... For anyone from the Portland area, yeah, that's Mt. Hood. Well, I was in the passenger seat having time to fiddle with my camera. Tom was driving (I think an Intel utility pickup truck) and we were headed from Ronler to Aloha. It was a memorable early morning in Portland. Tom, thanks for everything. See you soon, my friend.

I haven't seen Tom in a couple of years. I’ve assumed I would see him again. His sudden passing makes me miss him immensely, and regret that I haven’t tried harder to maintain a closer connection.
I read through all the online condolences, and I teared up reading notes, remembering Tom. Especially the impact he had on my classmates and me.
After my sophomore year of high school, an IRS agent called my house. I had worked in Washington DC that summer and the agent started asking questions, saying that there seemed to be a problem with my earnings. I had no idea what to do or what to say. And then the agent started laughing, which certainly wasn’t funny to me at the time. But the laugh was familiar, and I quickly recognized it as Tom’s. He wanted to hear about my summer and was calling to check in, even though school wasn’t to start for another couple of weeks.
Some 15 years ago, or more, I visited Tom while he was building his house in Hillsboro. He had a red-plaid wool jacket lying on the lumber, and I picked it up and complimented it. He told me that the jacket had kept him warm at Cornell (it was quite worn) and said that it didn’t fit anymore and he wanted me to have it. And I accepted it because Tom told me to, and I enjoyed having something with such great history that was his. But it never really fit me well. After years in my closet, I finally returned it to him over burgers at McCormick’s. He refused initially, telling me to keep it, but seemed happy to see the jacket again. I insisted he take it back, both because it is an awesome jacket and I thought Christopher might want it… So, when I saw a picture that Christopher posted, I broke down crying. The image shows Tom standing on the front porch of a New England-style home beside an American flag amid falling snow and wearing his old jacket. And the fact that the sleeves were too short didn’t seem to bother him a bit.
I write this with immense love and gratitude for so many fond memories. Tom’s care for others and the amount he had to teach was only surpassed by his curiosity about the world. What a wonderful man.

My deepest condolences. Mr. Lindsay was one of my favorite teachers of all time. He believed in his students' ability to succeed more than any teacher I ever had. His energy, passion, and faith in his students was unmatched (coupled with his realistic understanding and empathy for what we were handling as teenagers on a daily basis). I am so very grateful to have had our life paths cross. He was one incredible guy!

Dear Baby Brother.... You have no idea what you have done to me.....I grew up with you, and all of my memories of our childhood went with you. I have no one to share my memories with now. Growing up in New York City we were always in Central Park, and at the Lenox Hill Pool where you jumped off the diving board and were not suppose to. Mommy gave us 15 cents for Crumbbuns. I always gave you the third one. How about the time you lost your shoe on the train while we were at summer camp? You held up the train....You were a real brat.... And the best was being at Rockaway Beach for the summer.......you and me digging for change that people lost in the sand. Tom, I miss you like crazy. I am still in shock. I pray you are resting next to mommy and daddy and now Joanne, the love of your life. Please give us a sign you are well and resting comfortably. God knows, you had a very stressful life my dear brother. I love you Always, and I wish I had a CRUMBBUN........... Love, Bubs (Chris Lindsay)

Mr. Lindsay was the only teacher to ever cause me to bleed in class. It was one of the big dry board erasers that came hurling through the air and clipped my collar bone. Mr. Lindsay’s class was different than all the others. The personal interest he took in his kids and his methods for challenging us to rise to our potential have been the heart of countless conversations for those lucky enough to have passed through his science classes. In those days invoking the ire of Lindsay was something to be proud of, the scar from one of his eraser episodes a badge of honor, evidence of a bond.
Later on in life I hadn’t seen Tom in over a decade when one morning I saw him walking the other way through an Intel turnstile. When he turned to the sound of his name and we stood there looking at each other, without hesitation he said “Nathan, Nathan Blaszak”. What that meant to me at the time brings tears to my eyes today. Mr. Lindsay and I did share a bond, one that overtakes me with emotion to recall. I love you Tom. I love everything that you stood for and the intensity with which you stood by them. Thank you Mr. Lindsay for always being there for me. Thank you for investing in me. You made an indelible impact on my life and countless others. You are one of the most inspiring figures of my life and I will forever remember you that way. Rest in peace Mr. Lindsay with that unruly nose hair, major league arm and unbridled fire you reached so many with.
To Joanne and Christopher you have my deepest condolences. Through our conversations at Intel over the years it was extremely clear to me the tremendous love he had for his family. He spoke of you often and with the enthusiasm that we all came to love him for.
-Nate

I'm going to miss Tom immensely. He was a great friend, mentor and inspiration to me. I have great memories of the things we did together; teaching, pouring the concrete floor/driveway in the house he built, having lunch together or just shooting the breeze. Even after he left JHS to work at Intel he would drop by my house out of the blue and we'd pick things up like we'd never been apart. He always brought a smile to my face and he gave the most amazing bear hugs! You are in my prayers and I grieve for a wonderful life that ended much too soon.

I am extremely saddened to learn of Mr. Lindsay's passing. He was one of my daughter's favorite teachers. I would like to tell a story of how much Mr. Lindsay deeply cared for his students. Our daughter, Jamie, was in a life threatening automobile accident in 1997 in Hawaii just five days after graduating from Jesuit. She suffered a traumatic brain injury and was in a coma for several weeks in Hawaii before being transported to Good Samaritan Hospital in Portland, still in a coma. She was not allowed to receive visitors other than our immediate family. That was not enough to deter Mr. Lindsay, though. He came to the hospital and said, "I know Jamie is here," even though the staff would not give him any information. He was persistent in seeing her, however, and found her room by peeking behind the partially open door and seeing all the balloons and decorations that her friends had sent her. A nurse came into the room and told me there was a gentleman outside insisting on seeing Jamie. The door was open enough for me to see who it was and I invited him in. He came to her bedside and talked with her, saying, "Jamie, you are going to come out of this and be just fine." Even though she couldn't really respond, she flashed a huge smile at him and I knew then that Jamie was still "in there." That was a significant milestone in her long recovery. God bless him for the healing power of his words. Rest in Peace, Mr. Lindsay, you have left your mark on many of our lives and will be dearly missed!

I am part of the graduating class of Jesuit 1994. If memory serves, we were Mr. Lindsay's first year of teaching at Jesuit while it was still an all male school. Few people have impacted an entire group of people in the way Mr. Lindsay did. I could write a small book of hilarious stories my friends I still share 20 years later. He wasn't afraid to stamp your tests with a giant "BULLSHIT" stamp, throw you out of class and make you stand in the window to take notes, or even make you go a few rounds in the boxing ring with him for a better grade.
Whats more impressive is as we have all matured we openly share the ways he went above and beyond teaching and truly shaped us into men. He would have frequent calls with my parents, show up at our homes for dinner to discuss our work ethic and grades. For many of us, Mr. Lindsay went beyond instilling us with a passion for science, he taught us what it meant to take responsibility for our own education and put in the hard work required to succeed.

Dear Joanne and Christopher,
We have not met, but I want to express my condolences to you both. Tom and I worked on a salmon dock in southeast Alaska in the summer of '92. I had just graduated college in Maine and was a long way from my native New England. Tom and I were on the same crew for most of that summer season, and I remember making each other laugh during those monotonous 18-hour shifts. I'm especially grateful for the conversations we had on the dock during our breaks -- we talked about home and teaching and the people we loved. I looked up to him. A few weeks after the season ended, I was visiting family near Portland, Oregon. I arrived at their house the night before my cousin, Michael Wells, was to start 9th grade ... at the school where Tom taught! I drove Michael to school the next day, walked him into the building, and within seconds Tom and I spotted each other in the hallway. He might have cursed when he saw me, but that moment was a blessing. I told Tom to take care of my cousin. Turns out, he took care of two of them -- Michael and his sister Megan. They still remember Tom as the best teacher they ever had. I am grateful for what little time I shared with Tom, and I hope you know that there are random people like me out there who were touched by his intelligent mind and big heart. May he rest in peace.
Sincerely, Rev. Andy Nagy-Benson

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Mr. Lindsay was a beloved Chemistry teacher of mine at Jesuit High School. I learned a great deal from him that year, and remember our class being filled with laughter - he made learning Chemistry fun. Tom pushed us all to achieve, and more importantly, to THINK.
My only regret is that I came back to Jesuit to teach science after Tom left and never got to work with him. He will be fondly remembered by all his students - even those at whom he threw chalk :). He was an inspiration to us all.

We just had our 20th high school reunion a few weeks ago, and his name came up in conversation as one of the teachers who made the most impact on us back then.
My condolences to his family. He was a great teacher and inspiration, and will be greatly missed.

He never talked down to us, and talked us up and inspired us. I love this man and his memory will live on with me. Part of the reason I was a biology major at Oregon was his influence. He also let me take Christopher to have doughnuts from time to time. Condolences to the family and RIP.

Mr. Lindsay, if you can hear me from heaven, please know that I am so grateful to have had the extreme fortune of knowing you and learning from you. Your teachings went way beyond just the classroom.

My deepest condolences to the family and everyone Tom left behind. I was shocked to hear about his passing and are saddened to see that such a young man with so much energy is no longer among us.
I have known Tom through a work relationship for about 10 years and always respected his professional interaction, which, in time, transformed into a friendship. One of the older, funny memories are him asking my manager to fire me, because I didn't agree to give him what he wanted. He did this not only once, but twice, but, fortunately, we found ways to serve him without my departure. :)
Once he moved to Massachusetts, we worked in close distance and we met more often, including personal dinners with some of my other co-workers. When Tom started at Globalfoundries last year, he needed his car transferred from MA to Malta and asked a colleague of mine and me to help out. He specifically asked me to drive his car, and my friend to be the return, because he knew that I am also driving a BMW. At your service, Mr. Tom. :-)
You are gone, but not forgotten, I loved your smile, your trust and your direct and honest nature.

I heard today of the sad passing of Mr. Lindsey. He was my chemistry teacher at Jesuit High School and a dear, dear friend. I credit Tom for changing my life - literally. He believed in me, and encouraged me and told me I was something special. My guidance counselor at Jesuit told me not to bother to apply to Stanford because I would never get in. Tom thought otherwise and not only encouraged me to apply, but helped me with my application and essays. I did, in fact, get in and go to Stanford and I later found out that Tom had called the admissions board and told them they'd be crazy not to let me in. I am/was forever in debt to him for believing in me. He will be missed and I send my heartfelt condolences to Joanne and Christopher. He loved you both more than anything.

After searching for a career I settled on teaching. In my most recent interview they asked me who inspired me to teach. My response of course was Tom Lindsey. I currently teach chemistry and biology in Colorado, and strive everyday to live up to his standards as a teacher. He was an amazing teacher because he pushed us to think critically about what we were learning. He was also the most supportive teacher I have ever had or known. This news is heartbreaking.

Tom teased me and once just walked into my busy on-task(!) classroom...just to interrupt things and make kids ....and me, laugh.

Dear Tom,
We never left anything unsaid. Our convsations were always candid, honest., fruitful. You were a big brother to me more than you could have ever known, but somehow I think you knew. Thank you for always having a kind word of encouragement for me, whether it be when my wife was undergoing chemo, or when my dad died, or learning my son has Turret, or even when I decided to make leap of faith with my job change within Intel, even when you were dealing with your own challenges. I will always remember our walks around the campus, grabbing an occasional lunch togther, and seeing your face light up when you saw me and yelling down the halls at me "Dr. St. PIerre." I can only believe that God provided the timeliness of our last phone call on Oct 20th, but it was awesome to catch up with you and share a few laughs even ttough you were so down. I asked you what I could do for you, you said "nothing." So i said, "ok then I will pray for you, for Joanne to get out of ICU, and for Christopher to find his path, and so I did. I have to believe that God must have really needed you up there, so now I will pray for for family. Good bye my friend, I will miss you.

If there is none, he made the best of this

I am so sorry for your loss. We are all so shocked by Tom's passing. He has left a tremendous imprint on my life and I will miss him dearly. He was an amazing mentor, husband, father and friend. He was my go to person with any problems, work related or just general life questions. If something was bothering me, he picked up on it without a word and would sit me down. He always gave me good advice, directed me in the right direction and ALWAYS followed up to make sure I was on the right path. He always had kind words to say about everyone and he spoke so highly of his wife Joanne and he was so proud of his son Christopher. I always loved his stories of Christopher. Tom cared so much about the clean room here at Global Foundries. He cared more than anyone I know and he made a great difference in a short time. I'm sure he is in the afterlife, rockin it in his corduroys! He will be deeply missed!

Our friend Tom was a very generous man. He loved everyone & we always laughed hard when we all got together after work. This was a special day @ Rick's house while Rick was cooking us racks of ribs on Traeger & snapped the photo. RIP my friend. Jersey George

Although we have all known you a very short time, you have come to be the best of friends to all of us. You will be missed more than you could have ever imagined. Your laugh and smile will be forever remembered. Rest in peace my good friend. Our deepest sympathies to the family and all who knew Tom.

Tom's passion for what he believed in, both in his work and personal life, and his generosity to those around him have been an inspiration to many of us who were fortunate enough to have known and worked with him over the past year. We will miss his leadership, his humor and most of all, his friendship.

My deepest sympathy to Joanne and Christopher. I know Tom thought the world of both of you. I first met Tom when he taught my son Jake chemistry at Jesuit High in Portland. He was the kind of teacher that made a difference; impassioned, deeply caring , funny. He took pride in teaching kids to think on their feet. Little did I know that I'd hire him for a job at Intel years later. He had unbridled passion for his job and put in the long hours and huge effort to excel at it. Intel was a pretty serious place, but Tom would always greet me in the halls with a big smile, a warm greeting (usually shouted) followed by his famous bone jarring hug. That was just Tom's way. For several years I had "secret" presents show at my doorstep for my birthday, I finally traced them to Tom, his way of saying 'thanks". I still remember him laughing that it took me so long to sleuth him out. I told him that working hard was thanks enough, but didn't buy it, he wanted to go above and beyond...that was Tom. Our conversations always had the same theme... gratitude for the chance to provide a good life for his family, sincere care for me and my family and love for the challenges work provided. I was lucky to have known Tom. He was one of a kind and will be missed. Rest in Peace Tom.

Dear Joanne and Christopher,
I was so sad to hear this news. I met your husband and dad through business many years ago but over the years he became a great friend of mine. He had such a fast wit and sense of humor. He even trusted me enough to drive his car from MA to Malta last year. I will never forget your loved one. My prayers are with you during this difficult time.

I am so very sad to hear of Toms passing. He was like a Dad' brother and above all a friend. He was quite possibly the nicest, person and the most adoring husband and father I have ever met. We worked together in the LYA labs here in Hillsboro, Oregon. He spoke to me about his family and his great friends in the fire dept. and the police force and his former students and, oh how he glowed with pride when he would grab me and tell me of something they had achieved. He would tell me how good Christopher was doing and how proud he was of Joanne for taking care of everything in his absence. He hated being away from them while he was here. I think that's why he kept buying me Irish Blood Sausage and taking care of me. He'd say "we are old school. Cut from the same cloth". Being from an Irish Catholic family, we would share stories and talk about grandmothers and the old ways. And of course we would wind each other up to keep our days in Intel interesting. I can still see him sitting at his desking looking up BMW's. He would say "It's for Joanne". lol. Typical Tom. I hope on some level these words help ease a tiny amount of your loss, but I am sitting her with teara running down my face just writing them, so I can only imagine your pain. Please accept my deepest sympathy. I know he is sitting up there and smiling upon us all. David Brophy
Hillsboro, Oregon.

My deepest condolences for the family. Tom was a great boss, mentor and friends of many. My best memory of Tom was him meeting my family one day at work. The way he interacted with my kids, really showed how kind and great this man really was. He always taught us many things at work that will live on with us throughout our careers at Globalfoundries. He will be missed by all. God bless the Lindsay family.

I knew Tom in Portland for several years at Intel. I was excited to see him again at GlobalFoundries. Tom was very dedicated. But what I liked about Tom was that he always met day to day challenges with cheer and happiness with being with the people around him. If Tom asked for help, I worked my hardest because I knew he appreciated the support and would respond with thanks and joy. I will miss him.
