Roger Pringle
January 9, 1941 - May 6, 2022

Roger Pringle was born January 9, 1941 in Iowa, lived for a short time in California then moved to Albany, Oregon, where he completed most of his school years.

Roger was an entrepreneur with a strong work ethic and formed the consulting firm The Pringle Company; he was a patriot and proudly served in the Oregon Air National Guard. He was a car lover, both driving and detailing, particularly Porsche's. A sports fan and fitness buff, he enjoyed earlier participation in and later watching basketball and golf, plus running, walking, and exercising on his stationary bicycle.

An avid reader, he read The Wall Street Journal daily, plus consumed books on business and American history. A music fan, he often listened to his country western favorites. His work ethic was formed early in life from his long paper delivery route as well as from working on neighboring farms. Pursuing his love of athletics he participated on Albany High School varsity basketball and baseball teams. He credited several fine coaches and farmers for instilling discipline in his life.

A lifelong Beaver fan, he attended OSU undergraduate where he was living group president and a fierce sports intramural competitor, then earned his MBA at the University of Oregon.

Over the years he felt privileged to serve on several corporate and company boards of directors and was honored to work with many outstanding colleagues and clients both in this capacity and in his consulting practice. Many interactions with others were enhanced by his ever present sense of humor.

Roger is survived by his wife, Sheryl; daughter, Anne Mastalir; and grandchildren, Ava and Jake; also by brothers-in-law, Bob Jacobson, Bill Jacobson (Kristie); nephew, Bill Jacobson; nieces, Toby Turner (Scott), Cory Willson, Kaety Jacobson (Mark Farley) and their children. The family will hold a private service in Kapalua, Maui, Roger's favorite place in the world.
