Martin “Marty” Lind, 64

October 27, 2020

Martin “Marty” Lind, 64 of Lancaster passed away unexpectedly at home on Tuesday, October 27, 2020.

Born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, he was the son of Dorothy Theros of Brethren Village and the late Donald Lind. He moved to Lancaster, PA in 1970.

He was a graduate of Manheim Township High School and Pennsylvania College of Technology. He was vice president and part-owner of Graphic Crafts, Inc. in Willow Street. He was known in the industry for his honesty, integrity and quality workmanship.

Marty enjoyed a variety of hobbies including softball, darts, trivia, puzzles and jet-skiing—but his biggest passion was his 1966 Datsun Roadster, which he avidly drove and proudly displayed at car shows. He was known for being a master griller and an all-around good guy who would do anything for anyone.

He is survived by his wife of 41 years, Elizabeth Lind, and their three daughters, Dr. Mackenzie Lind of Seattle, WA, Abigail Lind, DPT, of Allentown, PA and Hayley Lind of Jersey City, NJ. Four brothers: John Lind of Cranberry Township, PA (Stephanie), Gordon Lind of Manheim, Jerald Lind of Lancaster (Tracy), and Douglas Forst of Tigard, OR (Cindy), and five nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his niece, Madeline Lind.

A celebration of life service will be held on Thursday, November 5, 2020 at Charles F. Snyder Jr.Funeral Home & Crematory, 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz PA, in an outdoor tent facility. Visitors are welcome from 1-3 p.m., with a service starting at 3 p.m. Masks will be required.

Dear Betsy and daughters, I was deeply saddened upon hearing Marty had passed. Knowing him for over 30 years, I worked on many projects with him during my years at Offset Impressions. He was always willing to share his knowledge. We talked about family. He was very proud of his girls. Remember him for all the little things that made him that great Husband and Dad.  Marty, Rest in peace my Friend.

Marty was one of the nicest men I knew, I work in the printing industry and he was always there for me, no matter what i need – he would always make it happen. He was always cracking jokes and making me laugh. I just spoke with him on Friday 10-23, I cannot beleive he passed away. I will never forget Marty – he was a great man! I know we will all miss him her at Intellicor. My heart and prayers go out to the entire Lind Family.
