Douglas I. Lind

March 26, 1946 - December 31, 2020

Douglas I. Lind, age 74, passed away Thursday, December 31, 2020. Beloved husband of 47 years of Loretta (nee Coyne) Lind. Loving father of Ted Lind (deceased) and Bridget Lind-Stahl (Richard III). Cherished grandfather of T.J., Lexi, Lily and Joey. Son of the late Kenneth and Janette Lind. Dear brother of Kenneth Lind Jr. (Nancy). Born in Perth Amboy, New Jersey on March 26th, Doug was a U.S. Army Vietnam Veteran, a Retired Salesman from Ekco Housewares & Otagiri Co, & the former owner of The Gift's Outlet in Strongsville, OH. We were blessed to learn many valuable lessons from him, among them: love your family with everything you have, have fun (which he did by playing black jack & slots at the casino), travel often, watch things you love (his choices were game shows & sports), & go out of your way to make people laugh & smile (even if it embarrasses your family). His bottom line was "don't take life so seriously, celebrate being alive by dancing, teasing, telling jokes, and being silly!" Family will receive friends at THE JARDINE FUNERAL HOME, 15822 PEARL RD., STRONGSVILLE, MONDAY, JANUARY 4, 2021 FROM 4-7 P.M. Funeral Mass Tuesday, January 5, 2021 at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 12700 Pearl Rd., Strongsville at 11:30 a.m. Interment Holy Cross Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to Wounded Warriors Family Support or National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI).
