Tuggle of Rocky Mount, VA; his daughter, Brenda Jean Tuggle of the home; one sister, Nancy Faw of Collinsville VA; a special niece, Donna Hylton of Stuart, VA who was both his chauffeur and caregiver; great-nephews, Christopher and Joseph Hylton of Stuart, to whom he was Papa; as well as numerous nieces and nephews that loved their Uncle Lindy. He worked for Bassett Furniture Industries for many years and retired from Martin Processing Inc. He was a dedicated and faithful employee and was respected and loved by his co-workers. He loved family get-togethers and often asked when was the next gathering! He loved his garden and his “snap beans”. Mowing the yard was an enjoyment for Lindy - he said it was a “get-a-way”. He enjoyed many family trips to the beach, and was a big fan of NASCAR Racing and Dale Jarrett.
