Dear Merry Ann and all the Tinsley Tribe:
How distressed we are to just learn that you...and friends galore...have lost Roscoe. He took with him a large heart and sincere compassion and unlimited love that he had for others --but more importantly, he was not shy in showing it. I have read others' tributes to this remarkable giant of a man, and all have been the recipient of his time, mechanical talent, and hearty personality. And yes, like others, I received call after call from Roscoe through the years after I lost my Tommy, "just checking up on you to see if you need anything." The group camping years of the '70's brought lots of fun, laughter and friendship (including the legendary engine repairs to RVs and boats) to the Tinsley and Garlough families and others who circled those Arkansas lakes. Now I shall get out my old photo albums this evening and relive those precious days.

Our hearts hurt for you and send you our love and sincere sympathy. May God hold each of you very close in his loving arms.

Vera Garlough and Mitchell Garlough,
Longview

Mary Ann and all the Tinsley family, I wanted to extend my deepest sympathy and prayers to all of you, Roscoe was truly a good, kind man who loved his family and friends. One of my fondest memories is watching Roscoe racing across Lake Cherokee in his speed boat. We were both very young then. He would always wave as he raced past our lake lot. As someone just a little bit younger, I was trying to find a way to ride in his boat.

May Our Heavenly Father give you an extra measure of his comfort, mercy and peace.

Hi Merry Ann,
So sad to hear of Roscoe's passing. I saw his obituary in the computer in the Longview News. Just know the Lord is with you all the time. Rely on him and he will get you through. You will have all the hurt and sadness, but the Lord will be with you through it all.
I will keep you in my prayers.
Love,

One of the finest gentlemen I have ever known. I had the privilege of working with him for years at Eastman. He taught me SO much. Very sad on his passing. I will miss him very much. Especially his frequent calls just to check in.

Blessings and peace to your family,

I was blessed with the opportunity to work under Roscoe's direction as a contractor on several occasions in the late 90's on the compressors in building 11 at Texas Eastman. I considered him a giant mentor of unwavering principles and dedication to the craft of mechanics and never had a doubt that he approached everything in his life with the same resolve. I will never pass by building 11 without having fond memories of Roscoe in his white flatbed truck, or of him sitting in a chair on the diamond plate floor, tediously guiding the reassembly of a compressor. He was a good man and a kind man to me, and in my mind, quite legendary. I want to extend my condolences to you, and know that you're in my thoughts and in my prayers.
