Obituary for Dale W. Kohlschmidt
DALE W. KOHLSCHMIDT
Dale Walter Kohlschmidt, 78 of Crook CO, a life-long farmer and family man with a strong handshake, huge heart and quiet presence closed his beautiful crystal blue eyes on November 6th, 2016.
A funeral service will be held on Thursday, November 10, 2016 at 1 pm at Gehrig-Stitt Chapel in Sidney with Pastor Dale Pierce officiating. Interment will immediately follow at the Czechoslovakian Cemetery south of Sunol, NE. Visitation will be on Wednesday from 1-7:00 P.M. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Dale’s name to the SRMC Home Health and Hospice. You may view Dale’s Book of Memories, leave condolences, photos and stories at www.gehrigstittchapel.com. Gehrig-Stitt Chapel & Cremation Service, LLC is in charge of Dale’s care and funeral arrangements.
Dale was born on February 28, 1938 to Walter and Emma (Skrdle) Kohlschmidt. Dale learned to farm at a young age and dedicated his life to his family and working the land. Dale also volunteered for the National Guard in Sterling. He married Anita Curtis on Sept. 23, 1962 in Stoneham, CO. They moved north of Crook where they farmed and raised their two children, Kyle and Julie. In addition to their children, Dale raised dryland crops and cattle, guinea fowl, peacocks, ducks, chickens and many other animals. Dale especially liked his miniature donkeys and they loved him scratching their backs. He worked hard to provide for his family. Often called “High Pockets”, Dale towered tall and skinny. He was a very patient man with a kind soul whose smile will be greatly missed.
Dale is survived by his son Kyle Kohlschmidt and Daughter-in-Law Laurie of Crook and her children Jill Sauder and her son Zaire of Sidney, NE and Luke Sauder of Brighton, CO; his daughter Julie Constance and Son-in-Law Rod of Greeley and their children Kohl and Bryce and his sister Rosalyn Schauf of Wichita, KS. He was preceded in death by his wife Anita, his parents Walter and Emma Kohlschmidt and his sister Viola Clark of Cedar Creek, MO.
