Dale A. Turecke, 78, Green Bay, fell asleep in death on Sunday, April 29, 2018, with his loving family by his side. He was born January 1, 1940, in Muncie, IN to Michael and Margaret Turecke. On June 25, 1955, Dale was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
He was a graduate from West High School in Green Bay in 1958. In 1960, he met his “bride” and the love of his life, Joyce Ann Breneman. The two were married May 20, 1961, in Rockford, IL.
Dale loved to spend time with his model trains, ride motorcycle with his wife, Joyce, and enjoyed taking care of his tropical fish. He was a loving father and husband that did his best to provide for and take care of his family physically and spiritually. He was very good at and loved to converse with anyone he would meet.
No one was a stranger to him. He always had a smile on his face and enjoyed a good laugh. He loved people and he enjoyed spending time in his door to door ministry.
It gave him great joy to help others learn about the God of the Bible, Jehovah. He knew that the Bible foretold a time when there would be a resurrection here on the earth where life would be enjoyed in a paradise and the aches and pains of growing old would be a thing of the past. – John 5:28, 29; Rev.
21:4. He looked forward to that time and so does his family where we will all be reunited once again to enjoy life here on paradise earth in peaceful conditions. – Ps 37:10, 11, 29.
