John Lindsay, a prominent American politician and lawyer, known for his tenure as the Mayor of New York City and his influential role in U.S. politics, passed away on December 19, 2000 at the age of 79. His death marked the end of an era and left many wondering about the cause that led to the demise of this notable figure.

According to various sources, John Lindsay’s health had been declining for several years prior to his death. He suffered from Parkinson’s disease, a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement and coordination. Additionally, Lindsay had experienced two heart attacks and two strokes in the years leading up to his passing.

The immediate cause of John Lindsay’s death was complications from pneumonia. Pneumonia is an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs and can be particularly dangerous for individuals with pre-existing health conditions. In Lindsay’s case, his battle with Parkinson’s disease and previous cardiovascular events likely made him more susceptible to severe complications from the infection.

John Lindsay’s political career was marked by his charismatic leadership and progressive views. As Mayor of New York City during the tumultuous late 1960s and early 1970s, he navigated the city through challenging times with a sense of optimism and a commitment to social justice. His legacy continues to influence political discourse and urban governance to this day.

John Lindsay’s cause of death was complications from pneumonia, exacerbated by his ongoing battle with Parkinson’s disease and a history of heart-related health issues. His passing was a significant loss to the political world and to those who admired his dedication to public service.

Steve Trevor was born in Los Angeles, California at the end of August 1924.

My father was fortunate to have found PRO.  He appreciated the acceptance and help he got there.  A cruise to Alaska convinced my father that he could still “be part of the world”.  He frequently called to talk about his feelings of life with PD.    I heard about PRO, before and after the name change. 

“PRO continues to help those who need it with grace and wisdom to handle any situation that arises”.
