Edwin Lingle
LINGLE, Edwin R. "Dick", Peacefully left this world for the next on September 18, 2012. Dick was born in Zanesville, OH on January 27, 1932 to Ada and Leonard Lingle, both of whom have passed on as has his sister, Marlene Sooter. Mindy, his beloved four-legged sweetheart went ahead to wait for him at heaven's gate on September 16, 2012. Living with the wonderful memories of Dick's time on earth are his wife of 60 years, Marilyn "Jane" (Rice); his children, Edwin (Vicky) and Rebecca (Mike); his grandchildren, Shannon, Cristy (Ross), Wayne (Jessica), Travis (Sharon), and great-grandchildren Devon, Bobby, Christa, Lillie, Ethan, Braylan, Avery, the Bujarski and Handley "kids" and many more youngsters he helped out along the way. Dick generously shared himself and his gifts with many and his life was blessed. T/sgt. Lingle loved America and honorably served in the Air Force on a helicopter rescue team during Korea and Vietnam and retired after 20 years and numerous commendations in 1971. After his service in the Air Force he served another 20 years with the U.S. Postal Service. Dick was a kind man with a huge heart, he was compassionate, joyful, corny, handsome, non-judgmental, loving and always there to lend a helping hand. Dick was just plain crazy about Janie and in 2002, to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary, they renewed their marriage vows. When he said "I do" his eyes filled with tears. What a man, what a lover, what a husband, what a father, grandfather, great-grandfather, patriot, soldier, UofA fan, unabashed lover of animals and dear friend. Dick's friends and family will cherish him forever. A celebration of Dick's life will be held at ADAIR FUNERAL HOME, Dodge Chapel, 1050 N. Dodge Blvd., on September 20th, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers please honor Dick's love of animals by making a donation to the Humane Society in his name.Obituary
