Dichrow, Dale Edward
November 8, 1944 – August 25, 2023
Our beloved Dale passed away peacefully at Trillium Oceanside Hospice after a lengthy illness with
Congestive Heart Failure. He was born in Empress Alberta and grew up in Olds on a farm with his
parents Laura and Pete along with his brothers Lance, Jerry and Elwood. He left the farm to pursue his
dream of becoming a police officer. He graduated from RCMP Depot in 1965 and worked with the RCMP
until 2001, ending his career as a Staff Sergeant in Victoria, BC. He retired to Qualicum with his wife Jill
following an exciting and fulfilling career. He was an avid angler and gardener, wonderful husband;
father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend. He will be dearly missed by all that knew him. He leaves
his wife Jill, two daughters and their partners Bobbi-Jo (Guy) and Jodi (Marty), four grandchildren, along
with five great grandchildren.
A heartfelt thank you to the team at Oceanside Hospice for their unwavering excellent care and
compassion, with a special thank you to Dr. Susan Hunter, Blair and Crystal.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
