Groton - Dale Lyle Fleury, 60, of 79 Round Hill Rd., Groton, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Monday, Aug. 4, 2008.
Dale was born on Jan. 22, 1948, in Malone, N.Y. He was the son of Lyle and Jean (Barlow) Fleury. He married Patricia Stella on Sept. 26, 1987, at St. Mary's Church in Albany, N.Y.
Dale graduated from Salmon River High School in Fort Covington, N.Y. He was also a graduate of Union College in Schenectady, N.Y. He was a mechanical engineer at Electric Boat for many years. Most recently, he taught math at St. Bernard High School. Some of his interests included collecting frogs, reading, watching his daughter's sporting events, following the Yankees, restoring antique guns in a business he ran when he was younger, and especially vacationing in Maine, with his family, and making the best clam chowder in the world.
Dale is survived by his wife, Patricia and his adoring daughter, Victoria Jean. He is also survived by his mother, Jean; brother, David and wife, Cathy; sisters, Faye and Wendy; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins.
A Memorial Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m., Saturday, Aug. 16, at Sacred Heart Church, Groton. Burial will be in New York. There are no calling hours.
Byles Memorial Home in Groton is assisting with the arrangements.
In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be made to Sacred Heart School Sacred Heart Dr., Groton, CT 06340.
I´ll never forget the long evenings, way after school hours, spent with Dale. We talked chemistry and history and had a wonderful time. He introduced me to the "carbide" lamp used by miners a long time ago. I miss him dearly. Rich

To Trish, Victoria, Aunt Jean, and my cousins David, Cathy, Wendy and Fay,

Please accept our sincerest condolences and know that you will get through this difficult time. Although he is...

Trish & Victoria,
We wish we could be with you and we send our love & prayers to you. We will miss Dale very much and hold dear all of the memories of the fun times we had with Dale and both of you. I know he is watching over all of us now and is probably delighting in the endless supply of gadgets in heaven. (Do you think there will be enough room up there?!) You are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless You Both.
