Dale was born on October 22, 1946 in St. Cloud to Marcellus Sr. “Sal” and Margaret (Studer). He married Diane “Bip” Klein on May 25, 1977 in Collegeville. Dale worked at Pliam’s Linoleum and Bernick’s before purchasing Sal’s Bar and Grill from his parents in 1971. He met thousands of people including Johnnies and Bennies in those 52 years and many would often return to visit and catch up on old times. Dale loved cooking! He was happiest at Sal’s. Dale enjoyed fishing! He seldom had trouble finding someone to make the trek to Backus with him for a couple days each week during the summer.

Dale is survived by his wife, Diane; children, Kyle (Lori), Meghan, and Michael of St. Joseph, Katie (Nick) Willenbring of Cold Spring; Craig (Becca) Peterson from his first marriage; siblings, Sr. Rose Margaret, Dennis (Marsha), Doris (Jim) Goodrum, Marcellus Jr. (Darlene), Margie (Scott) Bjorklund, Wilma (Jim) Schwegel, Noemi (Harry) Aylesworth, and Nita Schneider; grandchildren, Mallory, Anika, Jaxson, and Ashton, Daren and Brenna; and extended family and numerous friends.

Dale is preceded in death by his parents Sal and Margaret; siblings, Geraldine, Glen and Dean; and Dale Peterson from his first marriage.
