Remembering Lindy Infante, A True Florida Gators Great

Gelindo Infante better known as “Lindy” passed away on October 8, 2015. Lindy was born in 1940 in Miami, Florida.

Lindy Infante played for the Florida Gators from 1960-62 and was a three-year letterman. He was a player on Coach Ray Graves first three Florida Gators teams.

Lindy was third team All-SEC team member in 1962 as well as a team captain in his senior season.

Lindy Infante came back to his alma mater in 1966 and coached with Coaches Graves and Doug Dickey.
Lindy was responsible for coaching legendary receiver Carlos Alavarez.

Despite being in my sixties I did not remember Lindy Infante as a Gator player or even as a coach in the later sixties.
