Dale Richard Opeka

I just found out and I am flabbergasted! Dale was a fine man and met or exceeded all of his father´s expectations. He was a wonderful husband, father and invaluable member of the community. Dale will be greatly missed by everyone.

Nancy, I just saw this. I am sad to learn of your brother's death. You have our deepest sympathy.

Dear Rene, Evan and Ross, I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Truly, it's a loss for everyone and anyone whoever met Dale or knew Dale or did business with Dale. When my family moved to Peters Township, I was six years old and in the first grade and Dale was one of my elementary school classmates and I'm still in disbelief that someone that I knew at age 6 I would still occasionally see at the shop, one thing I liked about Dale and he was like this as a child too! He was just a real...

I grew up with dale, my boys played hockey with and against his boys for years growing up, I´m sorry for your loss, Rene, Evan and Ross, rest in peace dale! The lavorgna family

I met Dale when I was six and he was five. We grew up together. I taught him how to skip rocks, he taught me how to play chess. We walked to school together every day in high school, commuted to Pitt together for the one semester I went there. We traveled together a lot in our twenties. The longest being a drive from Salem, Oregon to San Diego to Las Vegas and back to Oregon. Together my friend and I strolled the boardwalk in Atlantic City, reached the summit of Pike´s Peak, drove across the...

Dale was a friend for almost 30 years. You won´t find a nicer or more carrying person than Dale. Rest In Peace my friend

We have truly lost a big part of our Opeka "family". To know and work for this amazing man, is truly an honor. I'm going to miss your drop-ins at the shop, our small talks about life & family and stories about your trips. My heartfelt condolences to Rene, Evan and Ross. You will be sorely missed but God has gained a wonderful angel. Fly high my friend, and keep watch over us.

Dale was a great guy. We had alot of adventures in our youth. From building forts to gocarts together. His mom & dad would take us on day trips to see how car were made to the goodyear factory in ohio. Alot of good memories. Rest in peace buddy.

I worked for Dale before I retired and he was the the kind of owner you dream about working for . When I was hired and taken on a tour of the shop he was working on a ATV on the frame machine knee deep in dirt and grease ., I thought he was an employee not the owner, but that´s the work ethic he had and it impressed upon me a great respect upon him immediately. He laughed and joked with us and I enjoyed working for him. Rest In Peace My sympathies to the Opeka Family
