In loving memory of

Dale McNamer
September 27, 1945 - May 7, 2021

Dale Gordon McNamer of Winona passed away on Friday, May 7, 2021. Born on September 27, 1945 to Herbert and Gloria in Winona, Dale was united in marriage to Diane Christiano on January 7, 1967.
Ambitious and hardworking, Dale worked as bricklayer for 50 years, at one point owning a successful masonry business. Dale enjoyed yardwork, particularly mowing, tending to his prized fish pond and chatting with family and friends. Always full of energy and life, Dale will be remembered fondly for his "tell it like it is" sense of humor, mischievous smirk and the twinkle in his eye.
Dale is survived by his loving wife of 54-years, Diane, son Jeff (Kris Krenz), daughter Gwenn Eischen (Jeff), eight grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, two brothers, one sister, other family and many friends.
He was preceded in death by his son, Steven.
A private service will be held at St. Luke's Lutheran Church in Pickwick, MN. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to St. Luke's.
