Dale Noland

Dale Edwin Noland, age 89, passed away on November 16, 2017 surrounded by his loving family. Dale was born, raised, and educated in Oregon before joining the Navy. Dale was proud to serve in both WWII and Korea during such difficult times of our world history.

They soon got married and settled in Weymouth where they have raised a family and created many fond memories. Dale joined the Weymouth Police in 1961 and worked his way to Detective then retired in 1986. In retirement Dale and Lorraine enjoyed many winters escaping to Naples, FL among many other trips including Alaska, Hawaii, Europe, and Ireland. Dale was a lifetime member of the VFW Post 697 in Whitman and a true jack-of-all-trades.
