Dale E. Anderson
Dale E. Anderson, 88, of New Madison, passed away on May 24, 2017 at
Reid Health in Richmond, Indiana.
Dale was born on May 13, 1929 in, Preble County, OH, to the late
Stanley and Bertha (Heckman) Anderson.
In addition to his parents, Dale was preceded in death by his brother,
Kenneth Anderson.
Dale was a very special and unique man. He was a self-employed
entrepreneur. He had his hand in several things, including a service
station, a car dealership, a farm and housing subdivision. He was the
Assistant Chief of the New Madison Fire Department and the New Madison
Police Officer for a time. Dale and Janice traveled the world and
really enjoyed the cruises they took together. Dale’s passion was
fishing. It has been said that you could fill a house, from floor to
ceiling, with all the fish he’s caught over the years. He and Janice
had a home in Michigan and Florida, so depending on the time of year
would determine what fish he would be catching.
Dale is survived by his wife Janice (Beasley) Anderson, whom he married
May 2, 1948; his children, Mark (Leah) Anderson of Spencerville,
Indiana, Cathy (Alan) Corn of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Brian
