George Waldo Dingman
George Waldo Dingman died on January 13, 2022. He was born in Lincoln, Nebraska on December 7, 1926, to Waldo and Blossom Dingman. George graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and then served in the United States Navy. When he got out of the service, he was in graduate school at the University of Minnesota where he met Marian V. Higdon. They married on October 16, 1948.
George and Marian spent most of their years together living in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin and Eden Prairie, Minnesota. They had three children. George worked at several different middle management jobs in Chippewa Falls and Eden Prairie, while frequently traveling to Texas and Canada for his various positions. George and Marian enjoyed spending time with family, and at their cabin in Wisconsin due to their shared love of nature. George valued education and was very supportive of his children and grandchildren.
George is survived by his children: John (Diane) Dingman of La Crosse, Wisconsin, Mary (Jim) Karker of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and Ann (Greg) Allen of Bloomington, Minnesota. He is also survived by grandchildren: Paul (Glenna Mowry) Karker, Rachel (Derek) Petersen, Bethany Karker, Isaac Allen, and Erik Allen; great-grandchildren: Marshall and Lane Petersen, and numerous nieces and nephews.

George hired me at Brampton Enginering, in Brampton, ON in 1981. He was the best boss I ever worked for and mentored me in business decisions. He facilitated my taking over ownership of the business in January 1983.
We stayed in touch over the years since then, lately with a Christmas card - fully covered in writing - but I never received one this past year. Having checked the obituaries early in the new year nothing showed up. I'm so glad I tried again today.
My sincerest condolences to his children. George was a man I loved, respected and admired.

It was 50 years ago when I met George at Johnson Plastics; he was president at the time. George was a man of true integrity; he was a man of balance; he was cordial and respectful of all the employees. George had a knack for processing all the aspects required in making the best decisions possible, often under difficult circumstances. George was a kind man, and I am happy our paths crossed. My condolences to his entire family.

I am sorry to hear about George. I worked with John for years and loved hearing his stories of his father and them living in Chippewa Falls :) Thinking of you all during this time.
Much Love,
Ashley
