Keith Evan Dale
FCPA, FCGA Keith Evan Dale passed away after a lengthy battle with health issues on April 14, at Lakeridge Health Oshawa, in his 90th year.
In Keith's words: - "I was predeceased by loving parents Kathleen and Stan Dale, and younger brother Warren (Kathy). I leave behind the love of my life for 40 years, Shirley (nee Dearing), daughter Lori, brother Gary (Sandi), and nieces and nephews.
I enjoyed a great career at Imperial Oil, mainly in Comptrollers and Marketing, and retired in 1986 after 33 years of service.
Since then, I've dabbled in a few things like Versatel Printing in Don Mills, as CFO, and franchisee with Priority Management in Arizona.
I was a member of The Certified General Accountants of Ontario graduating class of 1965 and became President in the mid 70's, where I made some wonderful friendships and was proud to be of service.
In my earlier years I was very involved with the Salvation Army Band, Dovercourt Citadel.
The band and the music had a very special place in my heart. Shirley and I had a very active life, enjoying travel, golf, and spending many winters in Florida where we made great friends and wonderful memories.
Since moving to Wilmot Creek, 14 years ago, we developed an amazing circle of friends, and memories to cherish."
No ceremony will be held, at Keith's request.
Contributions in his memory may be made to your local Salvation Army.
