Dale Charles

Rieman

Dale Charles Rieman, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and brother, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, December 4, 2024. Dale grew up in North College Hill and graduated from Roger Bacon High School where he was a standout on the football team.

He was a hard worker that never stopped and never sat down. For over 35 years he worked for an outdoor billboard company where he climbed to the top of the billboard and installed paper billboards with a brush and paste. Although Dale had a few serious on the job injuries, he did not let them slow him down. His dedication to his career and providing for his family had him back on the job while he was still recovering, but this time it was in sales. Proving to be successful in this area of the business as well, he moved into a supervisory role. In addition to his full-time job, Dale, did a lot of work on the side building beautiful decks, and installing windows and siding. Still never stopping, Dale would work constantly in the yard perfecting the gardens and landscaping. Their yard was the envy of neighbors.

If one didn't know Dale by his given name, they might know him by "Dalebert", Dale "Flowers" because pronouncing Charles came out more like Flowers when he was a child, or "Daddy Letters" because he was so well spoken and had a way with words. In turn, he only called his wife, Patty, by her given name if they argued, other than that it was always Rieman. A wonderful father and Papaw to his kids and grandkids, he would light up at the sight of them.

Dale will be deeply missed by Patty, his wife of 42 years and 50 years together; children Melissa Brackett, Douglas Rieman; grandchildren Kalli, Kyan, and Karli; siblings Donna (Gene) Ruppitz, Jeanine (Dave) Hopewell, Susan (Dan) Clancy, David (Rebecca) Rieman, Rob (Lorna) Rieman, Kathleen (Jim) Perry, Frank Rieman, Laura (Chuck) Rogge, and sister-in-law Karen Rieman; and many nieces, nephews and cousins. He is preceded in death by his parents Rose and Robert Rieman and brother Gary Rieman.

A celebration honoring Dale's life will be held at a later date.
