      William Clyde Dinger, born April 7, 1911 in McDonald, PA to John Clyde Dinger and Gertrude Densmore, died February 18, 1998 after a lengthy illness. Clyde attended Classen High School in Oklahoma City where he graduated in 1931. Always athletic, Clyde was All-City in football at Classen for two years and was also a member of Henry Iba's Classen basketball team that reached the highschool national semifinals in 1930.

      He married Lucille Killough on September 19, 1936. They have enjoyed 61 years of life together. Clyde attended the University of Oklahoma, earning a B.S degree in Petroleum Engineering in 1936. While at OU, he was a member of Sigma Nu fraternity. He practiced his profession in Texas, Wyoming, and Oklahoma. In 1963, he became a superintendent with Oasis Oil Company in Tripoli, Libya where he and his family enjoyed the adventure and togetherness of living overseas for ten years. Returning to the States in 1973, he and his wife settled in Oklahoma City to be near family and friends. In 1979 he became a supervisor with the Pertamina Petroleum Co. of Indonesia, where he remained for 3 years until retiring in 1982

      Clyde has been a registered Petroleum Engineer in the state of Oklahoma for many years. He was closely associated with the Gideon organization for the last 15 years. He and his wife are members of St. Stephens Presbyterian Church in Oklahoma City, having been lifelong Presbyterians wherever they resided. Clyde will be remembered by family and friends as being the most generous friend anyone could want. Whenever help was needed, he was there. His ready smile, boundless energy and enthusiasm for life and for others will be missed and be remembered.

      He is survived by his wife, Lucille Dinger, son William C. (Bill) Dinger Jr., brother Charles F. Dinger, all of Oklahoma City, daughter Louanne Weeks and son-in-law Jeffery L. Weeks of Dallas, TX as well as many other nieces, nephews and friends.
