DALE HERRMANN

Onalaska, Wis.

Dale Lee Herrmann, 65, of Onalaska, Wis., formerly of Waukon, Iowa, passed away peacefully on Friday, June 19, 2015, at Mayo Clinic Health System in La Crosse, Wis.

He was born on Sept. 13, 1949, to Arthur and Vila Herrmann. He married Debra Teff on Nov. 25, 1972, at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Dorchester, Iowa.

Dale served his country in the U.S. Army from 1969 until 1971 and was a Vietnam veteran. He was awarded the Purple Heart, Bronze Star and other medals of honor. We think of Dale as a quiet hero.

He enjoyed hunting, fishing and going to auctions. He loved his pug, Rose. Most of all Dale loved spending time with his family, especially his grandsons, Daylan and Hudson.

He is survived by his wife, Debbie; daughters, Lisa and Katie (Jason) Herman; grandsons, Daylan Page and Hudson Lee Harlan; sister, JoAnn (Brian) Winkie; sister-in-law, Laurie Hoisington; and many other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Curtis Mathis and Dean Herrmann; sister, Ferlene Herrmann; and grand-pugs, Woody and Sully.

The family would like to thank the dialysis unit at Mayo Clinic Health System in Decorah, Iowa, and Onalaska, Wis., and the staff at Mayo Clinic Health System in La Crosse, Wis.

A funeral service will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 23, at Coulee Region Cremation Group and Funeral Home, 133 Mason St., Onalaska, Wis., with visitation from 4 p.m. until the time of the service. Pastor Ted Dewald will officiate.
