Dale Alan Foster, 73 years of age died peacefully in his sleep in the early morning of November 20, 2025 in Vero Beach, Florida. Born on August 19, 1952 in Chicago, Illinois to Earl Foster and Martha (Bergstrom) Foster, Dale was a lifelong resident of Chicago until moving to Vero Beach, Florida with his wife Marietta in 2015.

He attended DePaul University in Chicago where he earned a Bachelor's Degree and did some post graduate work, and was employed in the transportation industry following in the footsteps of his father. Dale enjoyed collecting and reading books and watching movies, a passion both he and his wife shared. Dale was a life-long member of the Episcopal church, and attended services regularly when he was able. When they moved to Vero Beach, he and his wife became members of Trinity Episcopal Church.

Dale was preceded in death by his wife Marietta Alphonsine Bielski in 2018. They were married in 2005 although they had been together since their twenties. The couple had no children. Dale is survived by his only sibling, Nicholas (Nick) Foster of Chicago, Illinois.

The date and time of Dale's funeral is yet to be determined. Memorial donations (in lieu of flowers) may be made to Trinity Episcopal Church, 2365 Pine Avenue, Vero Beach, Florida, 32960. Strunk Funeral Home of Vero Beach is in charge of the arrangements.
