Peter Arnold Lindley died on December 1, 2021 in Miles City, MT. He was born on May 11, 1929 in Woolwich, London, England, to Arnold and Winifred Lindley. The family moved to South Africa when Pete was 6 and he lived there until he was 19. During these years, he developed a keen interest in higher mathematics and engineering, helping his father build water turbines and power generators. He also learned to speak Afrikaans.
Once the family moved back to England, Pete completed his degree in mechanical engineering at the Royal College of London. After an apprenticeship, he went to work for General Electric Company in England. He was part of a team that was recruited to design the first nuclear power plant built in England.
In 1949 Pete met Helen, his wife of almost 59 years, at a tennis club. They married in 1953 and had three children: Jean, Claire, and David. The family lived in England until 1967, when they immigrated to the United States and settled in Pennsylvania. Pete adapted well to life in the USA and became a citizen in 1975. He made family time a priority and each summer the family traveled the country, camping in national parks and other landmarks across the US.
Pete encountered some very difficult times in the late 1970s, which led him to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as his savior a few years later. He endeavored to serve Him through the rest of his days, becoming a true example of a loving, caring, and selfless Christian. Pete touched many lives with his steadfast and unwavering faith.
Pete is survived by two daughters, Jean Lindley (Jack McNamee) of Miles City, MT and Claire Lindley (Doug Skrobel) of Littleton, CO, six grandchildren, nine great grandchildren, one great great grandson, and five nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his wife Helen, his son David, his sister Mary Sherwen, and his parents.
Should friends desire, memorials may be made to Valley Community Church, 1004 N Sewell Ave, Miles City, MT 59301.
