Mr. John C. Schwind III, age 58, of Wilmington, DE, died on Tuesday, February 12, 2008, at his home surrounded by his beloved family. Born in Wilmington on March 31, 1949, Mr. Schwind was a 1967 graduate of Brandywine High School and also attended Brandywine College. He proudly served his country in the Delaware Army National Guard and his community as a respected 20-year veteran of the Wilmington Police Department.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 26 years, Linda Brooks Schwind; 2 daughters, Lindsay S. Sanderson and her husband, Robert; and Jenna S. Vincent and her husband, Christopher; his mother, Eleanor Egnor Schwind; and his sister, Charlotte S. Bickling, all of Wilmington, DE. He was preceded in death by his father, John C. Schwind, Jr. Friends may call after 6 PM on Friday, February 15, 2008, at Brandywine Valley Baptist Church, 7 Mt. Lebanon Road, Wilmington, DE, 19803.
