E. Richard Sheline

This is very sad News. He was my favorite teacher at Longfellow. I was in his homeroom in 7th grade. Yes he made us dance, which I hated at the time but it came in handy later. I'm very sorry for your loss.

Lola & Beth,

My thoughts and prayers are with you both. As I read through the many comments here in the guest book my only regret is that I didn't know him earlier in his life. Having been his massage therapist for the past year and a half I got glimpses of his sense of humor and his love of family. He was a great guy.

Mr. Sheline was my very favorite teacher. He was my 5th grade teacher at Oakdale school. I went to college in my thirties to become a teacher. I had to write a philosophy on education. Mr. Sheline was the inspiration for my paper, which I dedicated to him. I found Mr. Sheline at Beverly School. I presented him with a copy of my educational philosophy and preceeded to tell him what a difference he had made in my life. You will be missed by so very many -- my "To Sir With Love...

Dear Lola and Family...
The Sheline name and family will always be a part of the heritage of Boulevard Church. Thank you for letting Him use you during your time there. Dick always had a smile and an encouraging word whenever we had a chance to visit. We know the last few years have been difficult, but Praise the Lord....Dick is Home!

I wanted to let you know that whenever I think of Jones Jr. High, I picture myself sitting in Mr. Sheline's class. As one earlier student wrote, I also had a crush on him. He had that sparkle in his eye. Michael, for some reason, I remember meeting you somewhere along the way.

I tend to live my life in the moment, and can so relate to the joy he brought to those around him. What a legacy to leave behind...a bunch of young school girls are missing little piece of their hearts...

Mr Sheline was my favorite grade school teacher at Oakdale. A wonderful teacher and so personable with his students. I have wondered about him throughout the years. I'm very glad to read that he led such a full life. All of us girls at Oakdale were in love with Mr. Sheline!

Mike & Lola
So sorry to hear about Dick's passing. One fond memory I have of Dick is the one night him and Newell took on my friend at College, Gordon and I in bridge. Gordon and I had played dupicate bridge that year at OU. We thought we were pretty good. Boy did Newell and Dick give us a bridge lesson that night! Hope all is well with the Sheline family. You have both Shirley and my deepest sympathy.

Kathy,
I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. He had a such a productive life and left a terrific family, no better legacy.
Your friends at Wilcox Financial.

Lola,

So sorry to hear of your husband's passing. We spent many hours and days at the bridge table with he and Newell and partnered with them to win several team events. I will always remember Dick for his boisterous love of life. He will be missed.
