Dale Oliver Wisser
1937-1996
This page is dedicated to our father Dale. Today would have been his 73rd birthday. (June 6, 2010)
Sometimes I really miss him!
My father didn't spend a lot of time on words or in lecturing us, but his actions in life showed us what his beliefs were and what he expected of his children.
I never met a man I didn't like. These were not my father's words. In fact I don't think I ever herd him repeat that famous Will Rodgers quote. But that's the way he lived his life.
My father did not prejudge a man. He didn't see race, or judge you by what others may have said. When people met my father there was an air of mutual respect . Once you became a friend of my father's, you were a friend for life.
I was fortunate enough to spend a few years working around my father as an adult. What I witnessed was a manager of people like I have seen duplicated no where else. My father had the ability to treat people under him with the respect he felt they deserved. He had the ability to make everyone feel like they were an important part of the team. He was always willing to cut a little slack when it was earned. The amazing thing was, when the going got tough, and he asked for 110%, the people who worked for him were there with 150%.
He took a lot of pride in his work. My father made sure the job was complete, and done right before he put the Wisser name on it. I always try to live up to his standards when I sign my own name to a project
My father laughed. He had a great ability to enjoy his life and the people in it. Together with his best friend Willy, the laughter never stopped. I want to thank you Willy for bringing so much fun and so many adventures into his life.
I also want to thank Rosie for being so good to my dad and for always making us kids feel welcome.
Dad, I know that Rosie, and Mom, Willy, your sis and brothers, and all of us kids, and grand kids and are really going to miss you. But dad we will never forget, the way you've touched our lives.
