Age 72 of Brighton Heights, unexpectedly on Wednesday, Dec. 26, 2018. Beloved husband of 46 years to Karyn (Wentland) Pappert; dear son of the late Elizabeth (Streno) and Joseph E. Pappert.
He is survived by his brother, Dr. Wayne J. (Mary Louise), and his brother-in-law Dr. K. Barry (Megan) Wentland. Also survived by four nieces and nephews, and five great-nieces and great-nephews.
Dale was a proud graduate of North Catholic High School and Villanova University where he earned his bachelors degree in education. He did graduate work at Indiana University of PA and Oxford University in England. Dale taught English for 30 years in the Pine-Richland School District. He loved astronomy and was thrilled to view the 2017 total solar eclipse in S.C. with Jimmy and Trish Mushinsky, Terry and Tammy Mullen, Barry and Megan Wentland, and his wife Karyn.
Dale also enjoyed cooking, writing, vegetable-gardening, learning about wine, and following the Villanova Wildcats. He valued time spent with Bruce and Ann Mulkin in Western N.Y. and trips to Jekyll Island GA.

We were so lucky to have Dale as our friend. Our special memories are of him and Karyn dressing up for our Oldies Parties and having such a good time at our house. We will miss him dearly.

My son Chris and his family also enjoyed meeting you and Dale. They too offer their prayers. Dale was a great friend and roommate.We offer prayers for him, and for you.
