Dale Robert Mellesmoen

Bup--I am so grateful YOU were my grandpa and that I got to have 39 years with you. There is never enough time, but what a blessing to watch you be a great grandpa to my boys and to have so many years of treasured memories. You have left an enormous hole in my heart that will soften with time but will never close. Until we meet again, you are ALL mine. Xoxo, Amy

Dale and Marlene's grandson Joe played hockey and baseball during the same time as our son. Always enjoyed seeing Dale and Marlene at the games. We ways had a good conversation and he had a great sense of humor. Remarkable Grandparents always supporting their grandchildren's activities. He will be missed by many. Steve and Kathy Goldschmidt

I didn't get to see you as often as we should have, but you were always a special uncle to me. It was always fun when you came to Florida. So glad you were in my life. Love you.

My deepest condolences to the Mellesmoen family and friends. I met Dale via ham radio and enjoyed many conversations with him when I visited Duluth for ham radio club functions.. May he rest in peace.

I'll like you forever, I'll love you for always. As long as I'm living my daddy you'll be. Until we meet again...xoxo ❤

So sad Marlene. He was so nice to me and all others. He always made sure to tell me a story about my Grandpa. I am glad I got to see him at our last few luncheons. Jason

Dale was a long time workmate and a good friend. We will miss him for sure. So long (grampa) until we meet again.

Was the best 1st Sgt any young soldier could ask for .So proud to call my friend.
Will miss you Top ..Salute. Prayers to all his family and friends.

Thinking of the Mellesmoen, Morris and Fink family. I hope for all of you that the great memories you have of Bup will live on for generations to come. Cari McMillan

When Joe and my son Jonathan were playing hockey or baseball, I knew who I would see there. Dale and Marlene were very dedicated. I liked talking to Dale. He had opinions, but always used common sense. I miss those times and Dale certainly made them much more enjoyable. Thank you for your service to our country. RIP, Dale.

Blessing to the Mellesmoen Family. Worked with Dale shortly prior to his retirement then later as we tried to bring the USS Des Moines to Duluth. Air Shows with Dale along with the Navy League. Hard working and dedicated. I salute my Friend Dale, time now to rest.

I am so sorry to hear of Bup's passing. He was such a sweet and gentle man. Every time I think of him, I smile....and wonder how many dog treats he has in his pocket. He will be missed by many. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, and your family.
