Robert Lionel Dingle, of Beaumont, died peacefully in his sleep on Saturday, July 29, 2017, at the age of 91. He was born in Houston, on February 2, 1926, to Sybil Mable Dingle and Atress Lionel Dingle. A veteran of World War II, he served in the United States Army Air Corps.

He and Shirley Dingle, his beloved late wife of sixty-seven years, were residents of Beaumont, Texas, for over fifty-eight years. They played gracious hosts to a myriad of events including faculty parties, bridge gatherings, and far too many holiday celebrations to count.

Margaret, Bobby, and John, Your dad had a long, and very full life, and I am so very grateful that he did. He and your mom had three great kids, and a wonderful extended family. How well I remember all the fun times at the Dingle house all of us girls had with Sybil, and now your dad can join her, and your mom in the great hereafter. Please know that all of you will be in my thoughts and prayers at this sad time, but know that your parents helped all of us get through adolescence in one piece! God bless and God speed. Lois
