Dale Smith, 80, retired rabble-rouser extraordinaire, passed away Friday, 23 September 2022. Chicago born and bred,

Dale was a devoted participant in the arts, ballet, symphony, opera, and dance offerings of Chicago. He sailed, ice skated, ran, and bicycled throughout the city. He ate at all the finest restaurants and loved finding the new ones with imaginative menus. He leaves behind his wife, daughter, brother, and various relatives and friends all still shaking their heads over his outlandish escapades and unusual sense of humor.
