Dale died Tuesday, March 9, 2004, at the Tri- County Hospital in Lexington.
He was born July 15, 1930, in Hastings to Ernest and Ola (Largent) Yung. Dale graduated from Red Cloud High School in Red Cloud, Nebraska with the class of 1948. He then went on to further his education at the University of Nebraska, graduating with his bachelor's degree in education. He was united in marriage to Ila Skjelver on Dec. 28, 1950, in Red Cloud. The couple were blessed with three children; Pam, Mark and Cindy. Dale would eventually go on to receive his master's degree in education, also from the University of Nebraska.
His first teaching job was at Red Cloud, Nebraska, where he taught for four years. He then was Superintendent of Schools and coached volleyball at Roseland. In 1965, the family moved to Lexington where Dale was Principal at Lexington High School until 1967. Following his retirement from education, he went into the insurance business, where he was Agency Supervisor for Universal Surety Insurance Company for 20 years, retiring in the late 1980's. He and Ila then spent their time traveling and wintering in Arizona. They were able to spend their winters in Arizona until three years ago when Dale's health began to fail.
He was a member of the First United Methodist Church, where he served on various church committees and sang in the church choir. He was also a member of the Masonic Lodge.
His enjoyment was always his loving family. He loved sports, especially the Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, which he held season tickets since 1961. He always enjoyed reading and keeping his mind active. He will be truly missed.
