Dale David Edelman Jr., a beloved father, grandfather and son, passed away on, Sunday, October 26, 2025, at the age of 66. Born on April 1, 1959, in Allentown, Dale was the son of Dale D. Edelman, Sr. and the late Marylin (Rader) Edelman.
Dale, recently retired after working over 25 years at Siemens Building Technology as a Controls Technician. Dale was an avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed time spent in the woods or on the water hunting and fishing. He was a jack of all trades and knew how to do just about everything from a handyman's perspective. As he always said, "you know the quality of work you are getting when you do something yourself." If you needed a hand he was always the first to say, "How can I help?". He was someone you could always count on. Above all he loved his family, especially being a pop-pop. He was always a phone call away.
He will be dearly missed by his children, Kayla Karan and husband Brett, of Allentown, Matthew Edelman, of Pen Argyl; grandchildren, Grayson Duarte, Kayden Duarte, Kennedy Karan; sister, Dawn Krasley and her husband Bob; son-in-law, Mark Duarte. Dale was predeceased by his daughter Meagan Duarte.
