Dr. D. Dale McCooey
1940 – 2018

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. D. Dale McCooey on July 20, 2018. Dear son of the late Ernest McCooey and Joy Moorhead. Husband to Linda McCooey and father to Nancy Bifolchi (Wayne Bifolchi), and Paula McCooey (Jean Levac). Loving grandfather of Joshua, Nathan and Gabriella.

Dale was born on Feb. 9, 1940 in Metcalfe, Ontario. As a boy, he lived in a house on the property of the Central Experimental Farm, which was operated by his father for over 30 years. Dale attended Glebe High School where he played trombone in the school band. After graduating from Carleton University, he attended the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto, where he was elected class treasurer and focused his efforts on fundraising. Dale earned his Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree in 1964 and worked with mentors in Quebec, Wisconsin and Chicago. He went on to open his own practice on Carling Avenue, which he operated for more than 30 years. Dale was an ardent gardener who found joy tending to his plants and visiting local markets. Even with a health setback in 2003, he continued to find meaning through his many years of volunteer work.

Dale will be fondly remembered by his many cousins, friends and former patients.

The family would like to thank the dedicated staff at Granite Ridge Care Community for their ongoing compassion and friendship they provided over the years.

At Dale's request the family held a private celebration of his life.

Donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada in Dale's memory would be appreciated.
