David James Jindra Sr.

He was born November 15, 1948 to John and Bernice Jindra of Shoto, WI.

On October 27, 1967 David married the love of his life, Helen Krejcarek in Manitowoc, WI.

David was lucky enough to work for Mike Harvey and Sheboygan Concrete and to have met a lot of nice people and some not so nice – but that’s life!

He is survived by his best friend and son, David Jindra, Jr. of Sheboygan; his beautiful granddaughter, Jessica (Dan) Quasius of Sheboygan; two awesome great-grandsons, Anakin Quasius and Gabriel Giesen of Sheboygan; two wonderful sisters, Julie Denfield of Two Rivers and Kristin Coons of Manitowoc; his sister-in-law, Mary Jindra of Manitowoc; and many nieces and nephews.

David was very proud of his family and loved them all very much.

He was preceded in death by the best friend he ever had, his lovely wife and soul mate, Helen Jindra; his grandson, Matthew Gandre, two brothers, John Jindra and James Jindra; his little companion dog, Leanna Joy and four very close friends, Russ Lau, Dick Clark, Dave Hall, and Merlin “Shifty” Spindler.

David would like to praise the Lord Jesus Christ for His love and guidance through the good times and the bad times in his life.

Special thanks to some wonderful friends, Tom Perron, Mike Harvey, Howie Lisowe, Bill Gault, Jim Navis, Herman Hass, Clint and Sue Witt,and Chris Lorge – at some time in his life you have all helped him in a special way. Thank you for your friendship.

Funeral services will be held on Friday, December 13, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. at Ballhorn Funeral Chapels. Pastor Herman Hass, of Blessed Hope Baptist Church, Sheboygan, will officiate. A time of visitation and support will be held from 4:00 p.m. until the time of service.

“Life is like a bus ride; it’s not always smooth and you learn that sometimes you have to back up and go forward; always remember where you came from or you will never know where you are going. Some things happen that you want to remember and some you may want to forget. A lot of people get on and some get off. It’s the people that don’t throw you under the bus that make the ride fun! To all of you, it’s been a good ride but it’s my time to get off. GOD Bless you all and thank you for your friendship. Mike, thanks for the ticket – without you it would have been just a ride. Giver, Giver, Giver – we ran it til the wheels fell off.

And to the other love of my life, Sheboygan Concrete “SEMPER FIDELIS” (ALWAYS FAITHFUL)”

There are old pilots and there are bold pilots.

Today we say goodbye to one of the last old, bold pilots.
