Gale Alan Dunse

Gale graduated from Boy’s Tech High School, Milwaukee, WI in 1971, and earned his B.S. Degree from Oklahoma City University in 2005, graduating summa cum laude.

During his career, Gale worked for twelve years at Schlitz Container in Oak Creek, WI, and from 1983-2008, he worked for Anheuser-Busch in Oklahoma City, OK and Gainesville, FL. He retired in 2008, after working as the Plant Manager at the Metal Container Corp. in Gainesville.

Gale had a passion for Harley Davidson’s, in addition to playing golf, and most recently flying lessons, where he was working towards his private pilot’s license.

He took great pleasure from meeting new people and was “professional” in staying in touch with everyone on a regular basis. Gale was thrilled to be able to retire early to be near his two grandsons who made his face light up each time he spent time with them.

Gale was preceded in death by his father, Walter Dunse.

He is survived by his wife of thirty-nine years, Carol Anne Stann Dunse; daughter, Joy Marriott and her husband Trevor; grandsons, Zachary and Colin Marriott; mother, Lucille Jensen Dunse; brother, Gary Dunse and his wife Mary; brother-in-law, Joseph Stann and his wife Linda; and nieces and nephews.

Friends are cordially invited to a visitation with the family from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, Thursday, February 24, 2011, in the Morrow Chapel of The Settegast-Kopf Co. @ Sugar Creek, 15015 Southwest Freeway, Sugar Land (Williams Trace Exit), with a Vigil Service beginning at 7:00 PM.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Gale’s memory may be made to M D Anderson Cancer Center @www.mdanderson.org.
