Dale I. Kreilkamp went home to be with his lord Jesus on September 29, 2020 at age 72. Dale was born in Hartford, Wisconsin on November 30, 1947 to Marie "Mamie" Gehring Kreilkamp and Walter "Pat" Kreilkamp. He grew up in the small town of Allenton, Wisconsin hunting and fishing with boyhood friends. He served as an altar boy at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. As a boy he loved spending time with his grandpa, filling his pipe and running to town for a pack of "Plowboy". He graduated from Slinger Community High School in May 1966. He joined the Army in April 4, 1968 during the Vietnam war.

He married a lovely young lady named Marie Teters and out of that union came Bethany (Culpepper), Shawn Kreilkamp and Mary Nicole (Glaze). They later divorced. Dale drove bus for Tri-Met for fourteen years and during that time he met Verla Francis. After two years they decided they didn't want to live apart, so they married on May 20, 1989. Dale loved to shoot skeet, trap and birds and had many beloved hunting buddies. He was a faithful member of Rolling Hills Community Church and loved to help out wherever he could. One of the highlights of his life was a trip to Israel with his dear friend Chuck Karl. Together they were baptized in the Jordan River. Dale was a loving and generous man who cared for his friends and family dearly.
