It is with a heavy heart that the Whitecourt Trailblazers Snowmobile Club announce the passing of Dale Gunderson. Dale had been involved extensively in all Club activities for the past 25+ years. He was our leader and mentor.

Dale passed away on Sunday January 14, 2007 near Whitecourt, AB at approximately 12:30 PM.

Dale was out cleaning deadfall with his two sons Kelly and Jason, and two sledding buddies from the trailblazers.

Loss of a snowmobiler

Very sorry to hear the bad news. I have worked with Dale on signage issues for their trails and he was a very dedicated volunteer working towards keeping Whitecourt the snowmobile capital of Alberta. Alberta has lost a very special person and I know he will be missed by all.
