Dale Charles Buse passed away peacefully in Edgerton, Minnesota on May 17, 2024. He was 87 years old. Dale was born October 13, 1936 to Lloyd and Leona Buse in Balaton, Minnesota. He served in the US Army and married Sandra Nett on September 26, 1959. They had three children. Sandra predeceased Dale on October 4, 1981. Years later he married Suzie Young, and they enjoyed a wonderful life together until her death, October 16, 2020. Dale was an accomplished finish contractor, but it was his music that was the passion of his life. He formed a small band while attending Lake Wilson High School and played at many local events, often at the Hatfield dances. He was a gifted musician playing many instruments, but the piano was his love. He enjoyed sharing his musical talent with family and friends and we will miss his fingers flying over the keys!
