Dale Anthony Fiorello, age 81, passed away peacefully on March 20, 2025. He was born on April 9, 1943, in Detroit, Michigan, to Anthony and Hazel (Huff) Fiorello.
Dale was a hardworking man who proudly owned and operated his own business, Fiorello Mobile Home Services, where he built lasting relationships and a strong reputation in his community. In 1980, he married the love of his life, Joy Harrison, and together they built a wonderful life filled with love, laughter, and shared memories. He had a deep passion for the outdoors, enjoying fishing, hunting, and was a loyal Detroit Lions Fan.
His family will always remember him as a man who lived life to the fullest and took great joy in the simple pleasures. Dale is survived by his beloved wife, Joy; his children, Roxann Busch, August (Jose) Ruiz, Rosie (Steve) Aldrich, Kristen Fiorello, and River Boker; his cherished grandchildren; and nephews Gregory Edwards and Frank Fiorello. He is preceded in death by his parents, Anthony and Hazel; and his two siblings, Eugene and Beverly.
Per Dale's wishes, cremation has taken place, and a celebration of life will be held at Martiny Township Hall on April 9, 2025, from 1 to 4 p.m. Those who wish to honor his memory may make a memorial contribution to the American Heart Association.
