Unexpectedly, but peacefully at F. J. Davey home on Monday, July 18, 2022 at the age of 77. Husband to his loving wife Gail of nearly 60 years. Forever remembered by his two sons, Brian Dale and Michael Dale (Cory). He loved nothing more than being a grandfather to his four grandchildren Sarah Dale (Adrian), Jacob Dale, Andrew Dale (Katelyn) and Samuel Dale (Sasha). Son of the late “Granny” Agnes Dale and brother to Earla Wilson and Sharon Gray. His lifelong best friend was his first-cousin William [Billy] Berthelot. He will be forever remembered, loved and missed by so many more. In his glorious years after retirement, he was a fixture of the Lonely Lake community where he could be found spending countless days splitting wood, landscaping, and crafting his cottage masterpiece while enjoying time with friends on the lake. Cremation has taken place and a private family service was held. Memorial donations may be made to the charity of your choice.
