March 18, 1954 — March 19, 2013
Dale Beneke, 59, of Evansville died Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at Douglas County Hospital in Alexandria.
On March 18th 1954 Dale John Beneke was welcomed into this world by his parents, John and Beatrice ("Pat") Beneke in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

After living in the Twin Cities for a number of years he took up residency in west central Minnesota where he developed a special relationship with his co-workers from Gateway. After Dale grew to acknowledge this great group of men as his extended family he soon met and married his loving, devoted wife, Marcia.
In his free time Dale was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed fishing and hunting. When not in nature by himself, Dale spent many hours exploring the great state of Minnesota together with Marcia. Over the years he developed many interesting collections with a few being Pez dispensers, baseball caps, and military memorabilia. He will be remembered most for honoring his country by serving with the Marine Corp and reserve, his never ending sense of humor, and his everlasting devotion to his family and friends.
