Dale Robert Paige, 66, passed away on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, peacefully surrounded by loved ones at his home. He lived in Haywood County, where his family originated, for more than 30 years. Dale devoted 32 years to the Waynesville Country Club, where he worked as an assistant golf pro.
He was born on August 2, 1958, in Detroit, Michigan, to the late Lawrence and Mildred Cummins Paige. In addition to his parents, Dale is preceded in death by a brother, David Paige.
Dale is survived by his husband of 36 years, Andrew Aldridge; sister, Sharon Lee MacDonald; brothers, Dwaine and Dennis Paige; and countless family throughout the U.S. and Canada. Dale never failed to provide sunshine on cloudy days and brought warmth with a devilish smile.
The Waynesville Country Club will host a Memorial Golf Tournament in Dale's honor on Saturday, August 2, 2025 with reception to follow from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm at Doughboys, 180 Legion Dr. Waynesville. For details, contact the Pro Shop at (828) 456-3551. A Memorial Service will be held at a later date.
