He was born in Virginia on August 18, 1926 to Ernest and Anna Kidwell. He lived in Virginia for his whole life. Lyndon did spend about a year in the Merchant Marines in 1945 but that was pretty much the only time he was away from home for any time.
Lyndon married Maxine Dixon in 1946 and they were married up until Maxine’s death on July 11, 1984. Together they shared 39 wonderful years together. They had two children, Diana and Lyndon. They all lived together happily at their house on Mt Vernon Highway for many years.
Lyndon went to work for the Army Map Service in the early 1960’s. He continued his work with the government until he had a heart attack in 1970. He then retired from Civil Service.
In 1985 Lyndon met and fell in love with Jane Margaret Engelman. He welcomed her son, John into his life and treated him like his own. They were together up until Jane’s death on August 24, 2009. Since that time John has been Lyndon’s main care giver. John would not have had it any other way.
Lyndon loved Christmas time. Which might explain his love of the color green!
