Dale Robert Newhouse

Dale was born October 1930 in Holland, MI to Robert and Lyda (Johnson) Newhouse. After serving in the Korean Conflict 1951-1953 as a clarinet player for the U.S. Army band, he married Rosalie Grace Boeve in 1955. Dale’s 50th year vocation was as a piano tuner. He was a registered craftsman with the Piano Technicians Guild, Inc. His piano tuning expertise benefited colleges, schools, churches, venues, and private homes all over greater Grand Rapids and West Michigan. Dale and Rosalie were members of Faith Reformed Church in Wyoming for over 60 years. He loved the Lord and endeavored to serve Him always through his generous, humble, and willing heart. His earthly presence and words of wisdom will be greatly missed by his daughters and their families Deb and John Meppelink (Aaron and Kyle), Diana and Jack Brandt (Justin and Amanda, Julia, Jacob), Dawn Newhouse (Elyse, Austen, Olivia, Christian Kutsche), Denise and Ryan Poortenga (Grace and Lydia), bonus daughter, Sara and Jeremy Huffman (Noah, Dylan, Addisen); four great-grandchildren Landen, Paul, Hunter, and Isabella. He is also survived by his brother, Don and Laurie Newhouse; in-laws Earl and Nancy Boeve, Calvin and Connie Boeve, Marilyn Boeve, and Beth Boeve; along with many nieces and nephews. "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7
