St. Joseph
Dale A. Schneider, 76, of St. Joseph died April 14 at the St. Cloud Hospital surrounded by his family. His funeral was held April 20 at St. Joseph Catholic Church, St. Joseph. The Rev. Brad Jenniges, OSB, officiated. Burial was at St. John the Baptist Cemetery in Collegeville.
Schneider was born on Oct. 22, 1946 in St. Cloud to Marcellus Sr. “Sal” and Margaret (Studer). He married Diane “Bip” Klein on May 25, 1977 in Collegeville. He worked at Pliam’s Linoleum and Bernick’s before purchasing Sal’s Bar and Grill from his parents in 1971. He met thousands of people including Johnnies and Bennies in those 52 years and many would often return to visit and catch up on old times. Schneider loved cooking! He was happiest at Sal’s. He enjoyed fishing! He seldom had trouble finding someone to make the trek to Backus with him for a couple days each week during the summer.
Survivors include the following: his wife, Diane; children, Kyle (Lori), Meghan, and Michael of St. Joseph, Katie (Nick) Willenbring of Cold Spring; Craig (Becca) Peterson from his first marriage; siblings: Sr. Rose Margaret, Dennis (Marsha), Doris (Jim) Goodrum, Marcellus Jr. (Darlene), Margie (Scott) Bjorklund, Wilma (Jim) Schwegel, Noemi (Harry) Aylesworth, and Nita Schneider; grandchildren: Mallory, Anika, Jaxson and Ashton, Daren and Brenna; and extended family and numerous friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents Sal and Margaret; siblings, Geraldine, Glen and Dean; and Dale Peterson from his first marriage.
We’d like to thank the staff of CentraCare Plaza and the St. Cloud Hospital.
