Dale John McCoy, age 81 of Delhi Township in Cincinnati OH, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, June 24, 2025. He was the eldest son born to the late Vincent and Constance McCoy on September 8, 1943. Dale was the devoted husband of Linda (nee Corns) and a beloved father of Shannon (nee McCoy) O'Brien and Mike (Emily) McCoy. He was the proud grandpa to Riley and Emma O'Brien and Lincoln and Otis McCoy. Dale was survived by his sister Dianne (Pat) Heenan, brothers Terry (Lenora), Kenny (late Karen) McCoy and the late Tim (Linda-living) McCoy and many loving nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and neighbors.
Dale was a Probation Officer for Hamilton County Juvenile Court for 35 years, where he made a difference in the lives of many young people.
Dale enjoyed the simple things in life, like playing cards, jogging in the neighborhood, and sitting on the porch with a Kessler and Diet in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Dale was always ready to argue a good debate, help a friend in need, and discuss the philosophy of life.
