John Howard Lindauer Sr.

"To begin with, who made possible the wonderful advance of radio? Not the person who sits back and listens to some "opera star" or a "band", but the real radio amateur, who has experimented for years until he has perfected his apparatus."

"John H. Lindauer, 49, formerly of Bloomfield, died Saturday in the Desert Mission Hospital, Phoenix, Arizona. He was a radio and television engineer and was employed at the Harrison plant of Radio Corporation of America until transferred by the firm in 1948 to Indianapolis. Mr. Lindauer is survived by his wife, the former Louise Platts, of Rutherford; two sons, John and Thayer; a daughter, Ruth Elizabeth [sic], all of Indianapolis; his mother, Mrs. O. A. Lindauer, of Cincinnati; two sister, Mrs. Natalie Richardson and Mrs. Florence Cull, both of Nutley, and a brother, Charles F. Lindauer, of Clifton."
