Dale R. Lueneburg

Dale was born Sept. 18, 1956, in Michigan. He worked for Grede Foundries in Kingsford and for Superior Steel before later settling in Morristown. As an ironworker in the Southern states, he proudly carried the nickname “Yankee.”

He was involved in major construction projects, including Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves.

Dale loved children and they enjoyed his clowning and conversations. He was once part of the White Beret Drum and Bugle Corps in Iron Mountain.

Survivors include his mother, Idelle Winkler of Spread Eagle, Wis.; two sons, Dale Lueneburg Jr. of Green Bay, Wis., and Brandon Lueneburg of Morristown, Tenn.; a daughter, Theresa Martinez of Bay City, Mich.; two granddaughters, Cynthia (Robert) Hooker of Fairbanks, Alaska, and Delia Cobb of Whitesburg, Tenn.; two great-grandsons, Jameson and Jackson Hooker of Fairbanks; four sisters, Ellen Willingham of Shiloh, Ga., Carla (Tim) Tippett of East Kingsford, Christine (Jim) Anderson of Kingsford, and Bonnie (Tommy) Hacker of Milwaukee; two brothers, David (Dee) Lueneburg of Hazel Green, Ala., and Tom Lueneburg of Spread Eagle; and many nieces and nephews.

Dale was preceded in death by his father, Carl Lueneburg; his stepfather, Ervin Winkler; a sister, Tammy Sina; brothers Keith Lueneburg and Rick Lueneburg; several nieces and nephews; and longtime friend Rodney Adams.

There will be a celebration of life at a later date.
