Dale was born in Spokane, Washington on August
11, 1949. His parents were Warren and Nellie
Pattee.
Dale had a passion for learning. After
graduating from University High School in
Spokane, he enrolled at Gonzaga University.
There he met his future wife, Mary Hueber, while
they were both students. He and Mary graduated
from Gonzaga in 1971, and were married that same
year. Dale earned a degree in Electrical
Engineering, while Mary graduated with a degree
in Communications.
Dale and Mary raised two boys, Ray, now 39 and
Doug, 37. They were married 43 ½ years.
Dale enjoyed success in the business world. He
began working part-time for the Kaiser Aluminum
Company while a college student, and after
graduation spent nearly nearly 30 years with the
company.
Upon retirement, Dale and Mary founded their own
consulting business, catering to aluminum and
steel companies. They traveled the country
before retiring a second time, finally settling
in Bonners Ferry.
For those who knew and loved Dale, he was a
good, kind and generous man. He became a
Catholic in 2001, and served his parish as a
lector and Eucharistic Minister.
Dale underwent heart surgery one week before he
died. Because of unexpected medical issues, he
died as a result of post-surgery complications.
Dale’s family deeply appreciates the staff at
Kootenai Medical Center for providing him with
the best care possible. Donations may be made to
the American Heart Association.
Dale is survived by his wife Mary; sons Ray
Maurice, and Douglas Donald; and brother Dean of
Spokane, Washington. He was preceded in death by
his parents, Warren and Nellie Pattee.
