Dale Stewart
Dale Stewart, 85, Regent, passed away at his home on Tuesday, Aug. 24, 2010.
Dale was born a Doc Hill baby on April 27, 1925 to Lennon and Irma (Armstrong) Stewart. His early years were spent attending Regent Public School and helping on the farm.
On March 8, 1943 he married the love of his life, Betty Trunkhill in Dickinson. They spent the early years of their married life farming and raising their six children on a farm near Regent.
In 1962 he moved his family to Regent. They ran a café for a short period of time and then he became the custodian at the Regent Public School, a job he held for nine years. He then made a move to the west coast in 1972, but was never really at home there, so after four years he moved back to the prairies of North Dakota.
He owned and operated a trucking business for several years. He became a bus driver for the Regent Public School district in 1970 and drove the bus off and on for over 30 years. Dale had a love of music and played drums in many bands. He could always be coaxed into a foot-tapping rendition of “Pop Goes the Weasel” on his harmonica.
He was a charter member of the Sodbuster Saddle Club and the Regent Lions. He served on the Regent Fire Department and was mayor of Regent for two terms. Dale was a member of the Regent Congregational Church.
He was happiest when surrounded by his family, his pride and joy. He is survived by one son Merle (Kelly) Stewart of Regent and four daughters Kay (LaVerne) Zenker, Regent, Terri (Kevin) Lien, Dickinson, Sherry Mueller, Dickinson, DeeAnn (Terry) Hartman, Regent and his sixteen grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren.
