Dale Charles Dycus was born in Sealy, the only son of Charlie Dycus and Agnes Orsak Dycus, but had seven adoring sisters; Marie, Dolores, Susie, Eva, Patsy, Kathy and Jackie. He was raised in Sealy. He graduated Sealy High School in 1960, attended Blinn Junior College and Sam Houston State University. On February 13, 1965, Dale and the former Carla McClung were married with ceremony held in Houston. Dale was very active in the community as a member of CCD, the JCs, the local bank board, a republican Party chairperson, Rotary Club, and the Sealy ISD school board. He was born and raised Catholic, and loved his faith. Dale was never afraid to take chances during his lifetime. He owned an accounting business in Sealy for 20 years and operated a meat market and grocery in Wallis for 14 years before health problems forced him to retire, a fighter till the end. Dale loved being around people and enjoyed making folks laugh. A master at getting on with the business of life, he never felt sorry for himself and always put his best foot forward. When talking to his doctors, he would never dwell on discouraging news. Through it all, he kept a wonderful attitude, always thinking of others even in his time of crisis. Whenever he received bad news from doctors, he would lighten the mood or craftily change the subject. He kept a wonderful front, and was a great inspiration to all of us. He was a wonderful husband, loving father of his daughter and two sons, and adoring grandfather of three. Dale loved his parents and sisters. He always honored his parents, and would frequently call his ailing mom even while he struggled with his own Posted by Joy Neely
