Livonia, NY: At age 70, Dale passed at his home, with family by his side, on January 21, 2022. He was born on July 10, 1951 in East Aurora, NY. Predeceased by his father Joseph Kriedemann.
He leaves his wife of 37 years, Mary (Cicero) Kriedemann and children; James (Jeong) Robinson of Franklin, TN, Andrea (Robert) Rafanelli of Woodstock, GA and; grandchildren, Paige, Chloe, Robert, and Mia; mother Jean Crone of Honeoye; sister Linda Kriedemann of Springwater; brothers, Paul Kriedemann of Syracuse and Eric (Romy) Crone of Spring Valley, NY; mother-in-law Rosemary Cicero; brothers-in-law Frank Cicero (Bob Altavena) and Joseph (Cheryl) Cicero; sisters-in-law Antionette Easley and Monica (Scott) Buchan. Dale is also survived by many nieces, nephews, neighbors, and friends.
All those who knew Dale, knew that he always had a smile on his face and valued serving others. As a U.S. Veteran (Army), he found his passion for helping others when he laid the foundation for the first drug and alcohol counseling program for military personnel serving in Vietnam. After his time in the service, he entered the Tool and Die trade, where he worked for Roehlen Engraving for nearly twenty eight years. As a member of the Steelworkers Union he demonstrated his charitableness by working for the common good within his industry. Eventually, these experiences led him to Livonia Central School, where he could be seen lending a hand, problem solving a classroom crisis, running from task to task, but best of all,sharing the insatiable smile that had the ability to brighten even the most stressful day.
Outside of work, Dale could be seen sharing his adventurous side with his beloved wife, Mary. Through the years, these adventures found them flying planes, riding motorcycles, and boating. Although he enjoyed life’s adventures, he was truly a simple man. He enjoyed mowing his lawn on his John Deere, watching the Buffalo Bills, partaking in political discourse, but most importantly, he relished in his time with family and friends. He could always be seen sitting in his recliner taking in every moment as he watched the family that he helped to build. This was by far, his greatest accomplishment.
A graveside service and burial will be held privately in the Summer at St. Michael’s Cemetery, Livonia, NY, with military honors. A Celebration of Life Gathering will also be held with information to follow at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in his memory to the Livingston County Hospice, 2 Murray Hill Drive, Mt. Morris, NY 14510 or the Conlon-Mulvaney American Legion Post 1779, 6317 Marshall Road, Conesus, NY 14435. To send a condolence or share a memory please visit: www.doughertyfuneralhomes.com
