Taylorsville Times 16 Mar 2010

James Dale Propst, Sr., of Hickory, passed away Saturday, March 13, 2010, 
surrounded by his loving family at Palliative Care Center & Hospice of Catawba 
Valley. Dale had fought diabetes the last years of his life.

He was the son of Cloyd L. Propst and Bonnie Fry Propst. Dale was an avid 
hunter and fisherman. He loved to spend time fishing out on Lake Hickory. Dale 
was a charter member of the Carolina Moonlighters and served as the conductor 
of the group for numerous years. His barbershop quartet “The Old and the 
Reckless” was one of Dale’s favorite pastimes. He and his wife were former 
owners of Propst Greenhouses & Bethlehem Greenhouse in Bethlehem.

He was preceded in death by his parents; sister, June Carolyn; and brother, 
David Brent.

Survivors include his wife of 52 years, Dolores Huffman Propst; a son, Jimmy 
Propst and his wife Sandy; daughters, Tammy Shook and her husband Scott, 
Cyndee Brown and her husband Rex, and Kristy Propst. He was especially proud 
of his eight grandchildren. They include Christopher and Angel Brown, Megan 
and Lauren Shook, and Kayla and Mandy Propst. Other family members include his 
brother Ron Propst and his wife Tamara of Winston-Salem; sisters, Susie Punch 
and her husband Dee of Hickory, and Denise McCormick and her husband Rick of 
West Minster, South Carolina. In-laws include Charlie and Annette Huffman of 
Bethlehem, and Dorinda and Mack Maclean of Hickory.

A memorial service will be held Monday, March 15, 2010, at 3 pm at Miller’s 
Lutheran Church where Dale was a member and sang in the chancel choir. The 
Reverend Robert Alle will officiate. The family will receive family and 
friends before the service starting at 1 pm.

Memorials may be given to Hickory’s Palliative Care Center & Hospice at 3975 
Robinson Rd., Newton, NC 28658 or Miller’s Lutheran Church at 2280 12th Ave. 
N.E., Hickory, NC 28601.

The family is so grateful to the many friends and family who visited Dale in 
the last years of his life. We are especially thankful to Fresenius Medical 
Care of Hickory at 1899 Tate Blvd SE, Hickory and the loving staff at 
Palliative Care Center & Hospice. A big thank you to the Carolina 
Moonlighters, Miller’s Lutheran Choir, and the St. Alban’s Episcopal Choir for 
their gift of music to Dale during the last days of his life.
