. He was extremely handy and was always willing to help others fix anything that wasn't working properly. Even more, he always had time to catch up with a friend. He had a way of making a person feel as though they were most important in that moment; a true gift. When he wasn't fixing things or chatting with friends, he loved to sit on the deck and watch the Purple Martin's nest in gourdes he setup each year. In 2012 Dale retired after working 33 years at UPS. Dale spent his retirement enjoying time with his granddaughters, working part-time delivering cars for Lewiston Auto and watching Bald Eagles around Lake Pepin while delivering for Motor Parts. Dale will be missed by his wife, Bev; children, Keri (Sam) Cada and Matt (Reegan) Hoenk; granddaughters, Callie, Kenley (his "Little Buddy"), Peyton, and grandson expected in July 2021; mother, Leone Hoenk; siblings, Carol (Craig) VanOort and Sue (Richard) Holland; father-in-law, Elmo Wisted; and many nieces, nephews, other family members, and close friends. He is preceded in death by his father, Kenneth Hoenk and mother-in-law, Marylou Wisted.
