Join us in celebrating Dr. Dale Evan—please share your stories and photos, and help spread the word about this page!
age 72, died Wednesday, March 25, 2020. Dale was born and spent his life in his beloved Finger Lakes region. He was a 1966 graduate of Gorham Central School Marcus Whitman, and received degrees from Geneseo (B.S. 1970), Purdue (M.S. 1972) and Syracuse (Ph.D. 1976). For those who knew Dale on a personal level and called him dad, brother, friend, saw him not as an accomplished professional but a person who was sensitive and loved deeply. He was so very proud of each and every member of his family, especially his son, Sean. He found passion in boating with his wife Wendy, skiing, and teaching himself to play piano. Dale is predeceased by his parents, Ernest and Rhea Metz and his wife, Wendy. He is survived by his wife, Susan Ashley; son, Sean (Sara); two grandchildren, Tobin and Ryder; first wife, Jackie Metz; sisters, Dorne Eastwood (Steve), Shelley (Greg) VanLare; nieces/nephews, Joseph (Patty) Furco, Stacey (Christian) Saccameno, Jordan (Zhenia) VanLare and Emily (Brian) Dawson. A celebration of life will be at a later date.
