Dale Edward Schultz was born on July 29, 1947, in Neillsville, to Elmer and Grace (nee Christensen) Schultz. He was raised on the family farm near Granton and received his education in the Granton area, graduating from Granton High School in 1965. After completing high school, he drove semi-truck and hauled for many employers in Wisconsin. He bought the family farm in 1994, and after retiring from driving semi-truck in 1995, raised beef cattle on the home farm. He also owned and operated Custom Products, where he built green-chop cattle feeders, hayracks and did custom welding for the Amish. He sold the farm in 2003 and moved to a home east of Loyal, where he resided until his death.

He was a lifelong member of the Zion American Lutheran Church, Granton. He had many interests, but especially loved spending time with and picking on his grandkids, hunting, fishing, bowling and playing cards.

He will be dearly missed by his wife, Janette, Loyal; five children, Brenda (Jesse Schneider) Short, Pittsville, Lori (Richard Mayer) Hainz, Marshfield, Dawn (Terry) Foss, Granton, SSgt. Scott (Shelly) Schultz, Fort Carson, Colo., and James (Pam) Schultz; 10 grandchildren, Michael Short, Brooke and Alex Hainz, Courtney Foss, Whitney, Dominic, and Makenzie Schultz, and Desiree, Breuna and Lily Schultz; one brother, Eugene Schultz, Chippewa Falls; one niece, Theresa (Lester Jr.) Kuehn, Granton; and one great niece, Kyia Hernandez.

Preceding him in death were his parents; and one brother, Larry.
