From Grandon Funeral and Cremation Care obituary, Ames, Story County, Iowa:

Dale Leonard Hauge age 77, of Ames, Iowa died July 8, 2019 at his residence in Ames. A gathering of friends and family will be 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon Saturday, July 13, 2019 at Grandon Funeral and Cremation Care, 414 Lincoln Way, Ames, Iowa with a graveside service to follow at Ames Municipal Cemetery.

Dale was born August 22, 1941 in Grafton, North Dakota the son of Leonard and Anna (Sorensen) Hauge. He graduated from Grafton High School in 1959. He married Linda Torkelson on September 5, 1959.

Dale was a determined, hard-working man. He spent much of his time working in construction; especially drywall and insulation. With those skills, Dale was able to remodel and build many homes in Ames. He and his family made many new friends as they moved from one home to the next "project". And over those years Dale and family had many special dogs, favorites include: Mitzy, Pierre, Sandy, Schautzy, and most recently Buster.

Dale enjoyed many trips that included fishing, camping, and boating with friends and family throughout Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Canada. Auctions and garage sales provided Dale with a steady supply of bargains. He could sell anything from fishing lures to cars and trucks. Dale could shoot the breeze with just about anyone.

Poker, board games, and dancing at the Moose Lodge filled many nights with fun and frivolity. A good time was always had by all.

As the years passed, Dale especially enjoyed returning to Grafton, North Dakota for class reunions. He and his closest classmates got together almost annually for camping and fishing. They all treasured those close friendships that continued throughout the years.

Dale is survived by his children, Brian (Amy) Hauge, Tammy (Dave) Preuss; grandchildren, Scott Hauge (Allison Johnston), Kristina (Alex) Danielson, Devon Reese, Hanna Reese (Zach Williams); step grandchildren, Kely (Bruce) Hemann, Riley Preuss; 7 great grandchildren, 3 step great grandchildren, and a brother-In-Law Tom (Deb) Torkelson and his family.

He is preceded in death by his parents, his beloved wife Linda, and sister Shirley Hansen.

In Lieu of flowers memorials may be directed to the family.
