BULLEN, Dale Joseph - age 87, of Byron, died April 30, 2020. A private graveside service will be held at Rosehill Cemetery in Eaton Rapids, MI. Dale was born April 25, 1933 in Mason, MI, the son of George W. and Margaret (Clarke) Bullen. Dale was a farmer at heart and spent many happy years with his 3 sons on the family farm in Mason raising crops, beef cattle, and milking cows. Although a farmer by day, he also worked third-shift for 10 years at the GM Fisher Body plant in Lansing. After leaving the farm and moving to the Flint area in 1979, Dale put his extensive knowledge of farming and the dairy industry to use as a dairy farm inspector both for the National Farmers Organization and later for the Michigan Milk Producers Association (MMPA). During his last several years with MMPA, Dale took over the job of calibrating bulk milk tanks, traveling to many dairy farms throughout upper and lower Michigan and northern Indiana. He particularly loved going to Amish farms where he enjoyed interacting with the children. Dale was an excellent carpenter, mechanic, and welder and he could repair or build most anything around the farm. He loved camping and horseback riding and he completed many Shore-to-Shore trail rides across the State of Michigan. He also loved kitties, especially his special fluffy, white, blue-eyed deaf kitty that he rescued from a truck garage. Surviving are: wife, Debra; three sons, Jeff (Pam) Bullen, Tim (Lorie) Bullen, and Craig (Robin) Bullen; 10 grandchildren, many great-grandchildren, nephews Jack and Bob, and nieces Joann and Jennell. He was preceded in death by his brother, John and sister, Jean and granddaughter Jennifer. Due to the social distancing requirements, services are private. Please consider donating in Dale's memory to a local organization of your choice that may need assistance during this pandemic. Tributes may be shared at www.sharpfuneralhomes.com.
