DALE ALEN KISSINGER

Final Flight on September 06, 2015




Dale Alan Kissinger, Col. USAF (Retired)

November 16, 1948 - September 06, 2015


 

Colonel Dale Alan Kissinger (USAF ret.) died Sunday September 6 2015 with his family by his side.

 

Dale was born to the Late James and Evelyn (Smith) Kissinger. He graduated from Liberty High School in Chesterton, IN and received his Bachelor of Arts Degree from Trinity International University in Deerfield, IL, and his Master of Arts Degree from Webster University.

 

In 1972 he married his best friend and soul-mate Deborah (Johansen) Kissinger.

Dale was a compassionate father to Leanne… (Kissinger) and Paul Kocsis, Daniel Kissinger and James and Jessica (Abbott) Kissinger. Dale celebrated life with family: ten grandchildren, brothers and sister.

 

Dale served his country as he flew helicopters, jets and transport planes. His early years were overflying the underground nuclear bombs; he then commanded a rescue unit, lead special ops and retired as the 62nd Air Wing vice Wing Commander. Dale flew missions in the Kosovo conflict and his last mission was in Afghanistan. Dale was a highly decorated hero.

 

Dale served on the board for the Middleville Wesleyan Church faithfully.

 

Dale’s family will receive friends on Wednesday, September 9, 2015 between the hours of 6 PM and 8 PM at Lauer Family Funeral Homes-Wren Chapel, 1401 N. Broadway in Hastings and on Thursday, September 10, 2015 between the hours of 10 AM and 11 AM at the Middleville Wesleyan Church 1664 North M-37 Highway, Middleville, Michigan with Funeral Services following at 11 AM. Reverend Stephen Roobol will officiate and local Military Honors will be offered by the American Legion Post #45 Ritual Team. Interment with Full Military Honors will take place at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, DC.

 

For those who wish, memorial contributions to the Middleville Wesleyan Church would be greatly appreciated by Dale’s family.

September 12, 2015 FaceBook post.

My tribute to a great man, who made his "final flight" last week, Col. Dale Kissinger. Col. (then Major) Kissinger was a dear friend of mine, and I flew with him many times as a flight engineer/gunner on UH-1N helicopters. We were in Panama together, and Scott Air Force Base at the Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Service Standardization and Evaluation team of aircrew. Major Kissinger was a true leader and "enlisted man's officer". (Those who really knew him know what I am mean). I am very saddened to hear of his passing. America has lost a true hero. Many of his crewmen and fellow military will be gathering in Kokomo, Indiana the third weekend of September, and annually, for any of his family members wanting to come meet us.
