He went by the name 'Dale' throughout his life, also being known as 'Unc' to his family. He died at the age of 91y 2m 27d on the same farm he was born on in Grand Meadow Twp. near Washta, IA. During World War II Dale went into the US Army March 19, 1942 and was discharged September 28, 1945 serving 3 1/2 years without a leave longer than a weekend pass. He went overseas in Sept of 1942 and didn't return to the US until just before his discharge. He served in the Signal Corps in a Signal Aircraft Warning Battalion. He went ashore in four assualt landings, first at Oran, Algeria, then Sicily, followed by Salerno in Italy, and finally in the south of France near Nice. By the end of the war in Europe he had been through the Battle of the Bulge, crossed the Rhine and was in Austria. He received nine battle stars. After returning home and his father's death about two years later, he worked the family farm, living with his mother, until he retired at 65. After his retirement he took up woodworking as a hobby, making dozens of items. Dale never married but during his last 30 years had a special friend, Katie. All of his 18 nieces and nephews were considered his 'children' and he was special to each. He didn't travel much except to a niece's ranch at the edge of the badlands of North Dakota where he found a special enjoyment in the countryside. Although Dale was cremated and his ashes scattered in the badlands of ND, he is honored for his service to his country on a monument in the Grand Meadow Cemetery. My family.
