Dear Singleton Family,
Bishop Singleton was a great leader, a noble example, good neighbor, passionate scout master, and friend to me growing up. As a young boy and teenager growing up down the street he made a positive impression on me. He helped me obtain work as a teenager when I really needed some direction. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

What a great neighbor; bishop and friend! When we first moved to Butler he was our bishop. We spent many fun and spiritual times with him. Loved both of his wonderful wives....he was lucky to have had a life with both of them. It was sad when we moved from Butler and wasn't able to see him and his sweet wife. My prayers go out to all of his family. It was a beautiful service today. I really didn't know much about his immediate family so it was so fun to learn about his brothers; sisters and parents. He set a great example for all of us....a GREAT man! We are lucky enough to have some of his carvings...what a great talent he had!

Stephanie, Wally & Family,
I join you in your sorrow of the passing of your loved one. I truly feel your greef and pain. Know he is in a perfected state better than his prime of his earthly probationary state. He is joined by loved ones who have gone before, he rejoices in the greeting of his savior whom will embrace him gently, hold him close and whisper "Well Done Good and Faithful Servant!" My prayer are with you and may Heavenly Father watch over and bless you daily.

I loved Uncle Stan and Aunt Etta, and late Elaine. Uncle Stan took my scouts, and adults down the Colorado river trips when I was younger. He got me a job while I was attending BYU, and the company he worked for built many of the buildings on the BYU Campus. He served several missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Days Saints, served well the people of his area in the church, and not of the church. He was a fantastic painter, and especially a wonderful talent of wood carving. I pray that each of his children and grand children will be comforted in his passing. But I know that Stan is once again with his beloved wife Etta, his family members, and all is family, friends that have passed, and in the arms of our Savior Jesus Christ. God bless this Great Man's Memory forever.
