Dale E. Cummings, 62, of Kingston, died January 9, 2004 surrounded by his family in Covenant Health Care-Cooper, Saginaw. He was born March 22, 1941 in Brown City to Eugene and Virginia (Houghteling) Cummings. He married Judy McPhail January 10, 1970 in Caro.
Dale started working at General Motors. He later worked field tiling with his father. The majority of his career was spent in construction work, which allowed him to work with several family members. He was an avid sports fan, especially Nascar and Dale Earnhardt. Dale was a big fan of the Detroit Redwings, Michigan Wolverines “Go Blue” and Detroit Pistons. His favorite pastimes were playing cards such as euchre, cribbage and poker and other games like blooper ball and pool, for which he has many trophies. He liked the outdoors and ice fishing, hunting, camping in his travel trailer, snowmobiling and four-wheeling. But most of all his family was very important to him.
