Dale Clark

Dale B. Clark passed away on May 27, 2022. Born March 18, 1951, in Belvidere, IL to Jesse and Laura Orene (Billeter) Clark.
Dale grew up farming near Garden Prairie before becoming a Millwright with Local 2158 and working construction in Northern Illinois. He married Lorna Noe in 1973. Dale had a strong work ethic and could fix anything. "You can’t do that" was considered a challenge. In retirement he enjoyed working on projects at his home and spending time with Lorna and his mini schnauzer Ada. His grandkids loved the time they spent with him having fun on tractor and golf cart rides. He was so proud of his family. Dale will be greatly missed by his wife Lorna, kids Leah (Joe) Racz of Gastonia, NC and James (Kelly) Clark of Belvidere, IL and his grandchildren Riley, Rachel and Reegan Racz and Nora, Macklin and Fiona Clark. Also survived by brothers-in-law Daniel (Jeanne) Noe and David (Judy) Noe, sister Patsy (Jim) Anderson and numerous nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his parents, stepfather Ephraim Hart, brothers Kenneth and Donald, and in-laws Leslie and Ida Noe.
A special thank you to Northern Illinois Hospice and nurse Becca and the family and friends that have reached out in the past few weeks. A celebration of life will be held June 17th from 4 to 8 pm, at VFW Post 1461, 1310 W. Lincoln Ave, Belvidere, IL.
