It is with deep sadness and a heavy heart that the family of Dale Ende announces his passing on May 6, 2020.

Dale was born on October 7, 1957 in Chicago, Illinois. Dale is survived by his mother Helen and father Farrell Ende, his sister Karen Bennett and brother Brian Ende and his wife Karen and brother Ralph and his wife Doreen Ende.

Dale graduated from Oak Lawn Community High School in 1975. He was appointed into the Air Force Academy, graduated from Oklahoma State University and joined the Air Force as a pilot. Dale did his training at Reese Air Force Base in Lubbock, TX. He became a flight instructor for many years and enjoyed that greatly. He began his commercial career as a co-pilot with Pan Am Airlines. He later took a position with Northwest Airlines where he became a captain. Dale then proceeded to work for Delta Airlines as a captain. Dale always knew as a child that he would be a pilot, it was his dream that became a reality.

Our wonderful Dale was an exceptional person who had the ability to make everyone laugh. He loved to have fun and could light up a room. I’m sure everyone who knew him could tell a story of Dale that would make you smile. He accomplished a lot during his life time but we wish we still had him. Dale, we love you and we miss you. Rest In Peace Dale.
