Dale Edward Vaillancourt, age 59, of Alto, passed away on Monday, February 8, 2016.  Dale had a big heart and an open mind. He aimed to crack smiles and persuaded people to enjoy life, rather than worry about it. Dale was a son, a brother, a husband, and a friend. But above all those things, he was a dad. He loved his daughters more than anything. He passed down his passion for good music, good food, and good company. Dale was full of mischief, smiles, and a "Whole Lotta Love."  He was preceded in death by his parents, Raymond, Jr. and Betty Jean Vaillancourt.; brother, Raymond Vaillancourt III.  He will be dearly missed by his daughters, Jessica Vaillancourt and Anthony Zoubek, Lindsey Vaillancourt; step mother, Pam Vaillancourt; sister and brother, Valerie Evans, Chuck and Deb Vaillancourt; several nieces and nephews.  A memorial service will be held on Monday 2 pm at Matthysse-Kuiper-DeGraaf Funeral Home (Grandville) 4145 Chicago Dr. SW.  Relatives and friends may meet the family Monday from 12-2 pm at the funeral home prior to the service.  Those who wish may make memorial contributions to Countryside Adult Care.

I only knew Dale for a short time but he left many lasting memories. Dale was a free spirit and a very compassionate person. He had a huge heart and and even broader mind. I feel blessed to have known him.
