Dale A. Scherer

Dale A. Scherer, 68, of Decatur, Indiana passed away Tuesday, October 19, 2021, at his residence - after suffering an apparent heart attack.

He was born on December 2, 1952, in Decatur, Indiana to the late Lloyd C. Scherer and the late Clara L. (Nahrwold) Scherer. He married Judy E. Fox on September 5, 1980, at Zion United Church of Christ in Decatur and she survives.

Dale was a member of St. John Lutheran Church, Bingen and a former member of St. Peter Lutheran Church, Fuelling. He was also a member of the Indiana Farm Bureau.

He was a 1971 graduate of Bellmont High School. He was a farmer and had also worked for B.F. Goodrich in Woodburn for over 43 years where he worked in the shipping department.

Dale was a lifelong farmer…who loved his John Deere equipment. True to his farming roots, when farming he was happy and had a smile…when not farming…not so happy. His grandson was the apple in his eye and the key to his heart.

(Dr. Derek) Pinkham of Ellsworth, Maine; grandson, Arlo Pinkham of Ellsworth, Maine; brother-in-law, John Casey of Fort Wayne, Indiana; his four legged farmers, Bella and Lexi; Judy’s surviving family, mother, Mary Fox of Decatur, Indiana; two sisters, Deb Fox of Fort Wayne, Indiana and Kristi Garcia of Roanoke, Indiana.

Dale was preceded in death by a sister, Karen Casey; father-in-law, Leonard Fox; and his farmer-in-crime, Scotty (Richard Scott).
