Dale A. Hanenberg, age 75 of West Milford passed Monday, August 13, 2018.
He was born in Passaic and raised in Wayne. Dale attended Wayne Valley High School in Wayne. As a young man of just ten years old his father passed away from cancer. Dale was fortunate that his uncle Marty took him under his wing and was a father figure to him through the years. Uncle Marty’s son Adrian, was close in age to Dale and always treated him like a brother.
Just out of high school Dale worked at Magnetic Engineering in Paterson where he learned to repair magnetic recording equipment. This job led to a lifelong career in the magnetic recording repair industry where he worked for the Ampex Corporation in Hackensack for many years before retiring in 2002.
Dale will be lovingly remembered as a quiet and shy man who had a huge heart. He had a very mechanical mind, could fix just about anything and was always there to help anyone. He enjoyed following auto racing and was a devote New York Mets fan for many years.
Dale met Susan Plante through friends at work and had their first date at Chan’s Chinese Restaurant in Mahwah. They soon fell in love and he proposed marriage to Susan in her driveway. They were married on September 4, 1976 at Saint Johns Episcopal Church in Ramsey by Susan’s father Rev. Leon Plante. They honeymooned at Niagara Falls, New York and have had a loving marriage of forty-two years.
Dale is the devoted father of Sharon Hanenberg; loved brother of Madeline Crooks and her children Joan Beck and Thomas Crooks; loved great-uncle of Janice Harris and Jaclyn Beck.
