Robert W. Dingman

Robert W. Dingman February 22, 1930 - July 12, 2009 Quiet determination, unsurpassed courage, and enduring kindness marked Robert "Bob" Dingman's life. Through his extraordinary patience and encouragement, he inspired all he touched, but especially his beloved family, wife of 32 years, Anne, daughter Shelley and husband Bob Muusse, son, Kipp, daughter, Leslie Desimini, and grandchildren Carly, Wilson and Austin. His gentle dignity and uncomplaining nature until his last breath will never be forgotten by anyone privileged to have met him. Bob possessed remarkable athleticism that included All State designations in multiple sports for multiple years before his graduation from Saginaw Arthur Hill High School in 1948 and then as an offensive and defensive end on the University of Michigan Football team. He was an outstanding student/athlete at U of M where he graduated in 1953 with a degree in Business Administration. These remarkable achievements didn't diminish his exceptional compassion and ability to positively affect young people which was evident when he left business after a few years and became a teacher/coach. He taught and coached in Milan, MI, served as Superintendent in Central Lake, MI, as well as counselor/coach in Owosso, MI and Lansing Eastern High School. After obtaining his MA and Specialist degrees, he became a school administrator at Walter French Junior High and Lansing Everett High School. Retiring in 1986, he and Anne moved to East Jordan where he was able to enjoy many of his lifetime hobbies such as shipwreck woodworking, boating, skiing, diving, fishing, windsurfing, kayaking, and finding joy in his pup, Macha. But he also continued to help others through his involvement with Rotary, the American Cancer Society and many years as "Captain Bob" to the young campers at Camp Quality. His teaching, coaching and counseling will live on through his many students and players, who will remember him for the lifetime commitment to values of benevolence, perseverance and striving to reach one's goals. Bob is also survived by his Mother, Ruth, sisters Nancy, Judy (Bob), and Suzanne, brother, Ron (Jean), and six nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father, Wenzel Charles Dingman. A memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 22, 2009 at the Estes-Leadley Greater Lansing Chapel with Ian Lawton, executive minister of Christ Community Church, Spring Lake, officiating. Bob may also be remembered with a contribution to the Harbor Humane Society, 14345 Bagley, West Olive, MI 49460 or the Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Parent Education Fund, Spectrum Health Foundation, 100 Michigan Street NE MC004, Grand Rapids, MI 49503.
