The Hastings Reminder, Saturday, January 2, 2009

Dale N. Dockter, age 80, of Clarksville formerly of Woodland passed away 
Tuesday, January 1, 2009 at Eaton Community Hospice.  Dale was born in 
Lansing, on January 8, 1928, the son of the late Nelson E. and Violet M. 
(Quick) Dockter.  He was raised in the Garden City area and attended area 
schools there.  After completing high school he continued his education by 
attending trade school for Ford Motor Company.

Dale served his country in the United States Navy from 1945 to 1946.  During 
his service he achieved the rank of Seaman First Class and was decorated with 
the Victory Medal and the Asiatic Pacific Area Campaign Medal. 

He was the husband of Vivian Dockter.  The couple was married in Angola, 
Indiana, on July 16, 1949.  They made their home together in the Woodland area 
where they raised their family together.  Dale worked as a Mechanical 
Technician for Harry Ainsworth for 20 years in the early 1970’s.  Dale liked 
to go boating, fishing and hunting.  In his younger years he enjoyed working 
on automobiles.  His skills with everyday repairs meant the family never had 
to call a repairman.

Together with his wife and family they loved to go up north Michigan to camp 
and go boating on Bongo Lake.  Dale also loved to listed to his boys play 
music.

Dale is survived by his beloved wife Vivian; his three sons, Larry (Melissa) 
Dockter, Lance (Kristine) Dockter, Leonard (Laurie) Dockter; his daughter 
Linda Huhn.  Also surviving are five grandsons; six granddaughters; eight 
great grandsons; four great great granddaughters; three step granddaughters; 
two step grandsons; three step great granddaughters and one step great 
grandson.

Monday, January 5, 2009, with Dr. Larry Dockter officiating.  The family will 
receive visitors one hour prior to service time on Monday beginning at 1 p.m.  
Interment will take place immediately following the funeral service at
