I just found out about my cousin Roger.  I am so sorry to hear about this.  I didn't know him, he was older than me and we lived a long way away from everyone else.  Uncle Lyle and Aunt Dolores and John did visit us years ago.  This is a great loss not know my family.  My prayers are with the rest of his family.

We have known the Shingleton family since the early 70's when my famiy moved to Atoka, OK, where we were neighbors with the Shingleton zoo.   Our paths continued to cross when Lyle and Dolores relocated to Claremore and my parents moved there too in the 80's.  I always looked forward to the times when the Shingleton kids were coming home as it always meant a fun and crazy time!  Roger will be greatly missed by his family and friends.   Please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers!

I first met Roger in Taipei in 1984.  I didn't know a soul, but Roger went out of his way to make me feel at home.  What always struck me about Roger was how great a time he seemed to be having.  He loved life.  Fast forward a few years to the late 80's and we were both back in the Seattle area.  We would meet frequently in our "bib overalls" as Roger would say for noodles in the International District with Al Hausske and Ping Kiang who we both knew from Taipei.  Whatever Roger did, he did it full speed ahead with gusto. He was intelligent, funny and generous.  A rare combination.  I'll miss you my friend. My condolences to Theresa, Michaela and Braden on your loss.

I grew up next to the Shingleton's and had fun entertaining/babysitting Michaela and Braden when they were young.  Roger was always good to me and a pleasure to be around. Theresa, Braden and Michaela I am deeply sorry for your loss.

My condolences to all Mr. Shingleton's family and friends.

1 Peter 5:10 - But may the God of all grace, who called us to his eternal glory by Jesus Christ, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

Great Person. I got to know Roger several years ago when we bought a fish pump from him. He came over to our farm and showed us how to use it. I enjoyed calling him and discussing aquaculture and all sorts of other topics. He was such a brilliant person with knowledge of almost anything.  My thoughts and prayers are with all of his family and everyone at ETI. Rest in peace my friend,  you will be greatly missed.

We met Roger in Taiwan in the early 80s. We shared many a beer together and the occasional squash match. Our sincere condolences

Roger was not only my brother but a great friend. I'll always fondly remember the trips we took in our early years.  In the late 70's when Roger and I both lived in California we took numerous trips to Lake Tahoe to ski and gamble.  What great memories! Roger always looked out for his little brother on these trips doing his best to keep me out of trouble.  Recently, we began meeting every couple of years in Claremore, Oklahoma with all of our siblings to visit our mom.  I was looking forward to our next get together next Spring.

The last two visits I brought one of my two daughters to give them an opportunity to meet all of their aunts and uncles on the Shingleton side of the family.  I am so glad each of my daughters was able to see Roger one last time. They both came back talking about how fun loving Roger was and what a great sense of humor he had.  I wanted so share some pictures of these two visit.

Roger will be sorely missed by all of my family.

I first met Roger at the now infamous Fukushima nuclear station in 1976. He was a newly hired engineer with General Electric. We worked briefly together there and then didn't run across each other til 1978 at another GE job in Taipei, Taiwan.

 Taiwan is where we really got to know each other well, and after a time Theresa came to Taipei and kindly let me continue to share time with Roger.

I left Taiwan after 3 years but stayed in touch with Roger and Theresa. When I told Roger that I was going to get married he immediately volunteered to be Best Man.  I knew that Roger would be a great person to be at my side because he was comfortable in any social situation, his grace and humor in the most awkward situations was something to behold. Roger's social IQ in my judgement was genius level. 

Our time together with ETI has been a charcter building struggle, to put it mildly. The best part of the past 12 years was enjoying the humor and optimism that is part and parcel of Roger's very essence. 

He will be sorely missed by me.  

My sincere condolences go out to Theresa and his loving family.

What a terrible loss. Roger was a great guy who I respected very much. Certainly one of the smartest guys I have ever known. I shared an office with Roger for a few years and got to know and respect him very well.  We had some good times then and later. I will miss his wit, intellect and friendship. My guess is that there is a little more wisdom in the next life now.  My sincere condolences to Theresa, Michaela, Brandon, Roger's parents and siblings.

I am finding the words hard to find but having  met Roger 43 years ago,  we were college students together, co-workers at  the Univ of Iowa, Chem-Nuclear, & Pacific Nuclear,  diving buddies on at least 20+ trips around the world and  business partners.  I can say he was my friend.  He was also a dear friend to my wife Yvonne, who loved his humor and larger than life personality.  Rogers love of travel & diving was only surpassed by his love of the family and grandkids which he shared with us
I was on the phone with him from Sweden, on the Wednesday he passed away, and he said he was going home early that day and we needed to catch up on things Sadly we never had time to do that catch up, but when I got the call of his passing, realized at least we had chance to speak as we often did. 
Yvonne and my thoughts are with Teresa, Michaela and Braden as well as the rest of family & friends as we all try to come to terms with his passing. Roger will be missed but not forgotten as long as we are here.  Goodbye my old friend.

I was so sad to receive the news about Roger from the email that Al sent out that was forwarded to me.  Although I have not seen Roger in recent years I still fondly remember our Chinatown noodle lunches and his wit. To Theresa and family we share your grief in this untimely passing of Roger.

I worked with and for Roger from 1980 to 2000. He was the brother I never had and the best of friends. I will miss him dearly!

Shingleton family gatherings in Claremore were much more fun when Roger came home!  I am so glad Boyd and I had the opportunity to visit Roger in Seattle several times.  I will always remember what Roger could do with a whole turkey on the grill - the best!!  Roger had the most unique voice and a fun spirit that always made you want to hang out a little longer.  It is so sad that we have lost our jolly Roger.  Theresa, Michaela, and Braden - I am so sorry that I cannot attend the service.  I will throw back a cold one in his loving memory :)  My love to all of you!

I am so very sorry to hear of Roger's passing.  As part of the Wendy Schmidt Oil Cleanup X CHALLENGE I knew Roger as a joy to be around.  He had great energy and was a truly lovely person.  My heart goes out to his family.

Roger and I worked together at PacNuc.  His upbeat outlook on business and life in general was a pure pleasure.  I can still remember many of his crazy moments and stories that brightened all of our lives.  We have truly lost a great person. - Tom Oliver

You were the best daddy in the whole entire world.  I will miss you every single day for the rest of my life.  I love you so much daddy, and I will see you again someday.

Roger and I worked together at Pacific Nuclear and remained close thereafter.  I can't adequately convey the sense of loss that his untimely death brings.  He was my friend and I will miss him.

We have known the shingletons since 1980's when we lived in Taiwan. We are investors in his company and a board member. I think Roger was one of the brightest guys I know. Very assured of himself and he could be pretty funny when he wanted to be. We loved the guy and will miss him so much. Our hearts go out to the family

I worked with Roger in Pacific Nuclear and knew him as a friend for many years.  One of his sayings is right on here "Roger Shingleton is a peach"!  Many people will miss his cheerful ways and always upbeat attitude.

I was a highschool classmate of Roger.  Haven't seen him since my wedding, 32 years ago.  I feel a sense of profound loss.

I worked for Rog for more than 16 years and saying that I'll miss him is an understatement.  May the force be with you my Jedi Master.  We will hold you close to our hearts for ever...

I am close friends with John and Kathy Shingleton and am so sorry for your family's loss. My prayers are with the entire Shingleton family.

I worked for Roger at Pacifc Nuclear.  He was a great guy to work for. I valued him as a friend.
