October 23, 1941 – January 11, 2017

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dale Scherer on Wednesday, January 11th, 2017 at Brocklehurst Gemstone Care Facility.

After being raised in Alberta, Dale moved to Kamloops in 1974 with his wife Marg. He quickly took up residence as a teacher, then principal and vice principal at St. Ann’s Academy for 32 years. It was very common for others to first hear about him as one of the finest people you could ever meet. He brought inspiration and joy to the many staff, students, and parents that he encountered over the years.

Dale was a founding member of the Knights of Columbus Council at Holy Family Parish. His Catholic faith was very important to him throughout his life. 

Dale had an enormous love of sports, in particular, any game that he could watch of the Calgary Flames or Stampeders. He also had seasons tickets for the local Kamloops Blazers.

He faced his life-ending disease, MSA, with great strength, patience, and faith in God’s plan. Right up to the end, he continued to teach those around him lessons in humility, compassion and dignity. 

He is lovingly remembered by his daughter, Andrea (Ross) Scherer-White, son, Trent (Joe) Scherer, granddaughter, Jane White, sisters, Dianne Langevin and Geralynn (Leo) Fleck, many nieces and nephews as well as numerous friends and relatives. He is predeceased by his wife Marg, parents, John and Kay Scherer, and brother, LaVerne.

Funeral prayers will take place Friday, January 13th at 7:00 PM at Holy Family Parish. The Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, January 14th at 10:30 AM at Holy Family Parish. Interment to follow at Hillside Cemetery.

Donations in Dale’s memory may be made to Parkinson Canada, an organization researching Multiple Systems Atrophy (MSA).
