Irv Lindenblad, 1929-2011


Irv Lindenblad and Jo Waters in 2010
The Rev. Irv Lindenblad, parishioner at St. Patrick's and Palisades Community Church, died at Sibley Hospital on the evening of November 11, 2011. Irv was a regular at the 10am service until just a few weeks ago. He was a career scientist at the Naval Observatory and a long-time pastor at the Palisades Community Church, where he was named Pastor Emeritus in February of 2011. He began a relationship with St. Patrick's when he married long-time parishioner Jo Waters after his first wife died. Jo died in 2010. Please keep the Lindenblad and Waters family in your prayers especially Irv's sons Irv, Jr. and Nils and close friend Sheryl Niernberger.

A memorial service for Irv will be held at Palisades Community Church (5200 Cathedral Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20016) on Friday, November 18, 2011 at 11:00am. A viewing will precede the service at 10:30.  

"May his soul, and the souls of all the departed, rest in Peace."
Irv Lindenblad and Kurt Gerhard 2010

    1. Thanks for your thoughts. I too believe that whatever happens after life, they were well prepared to handle. It's good that were able to do some good and fun things in their golden years too.
