Dale J. Raduege

Dale Jeffery Raduege passed away Saturday, January 11, 2025, at Waukesha Memorial Hospital at the age of 75. He was born in Waukesha to parents Carl Edward and Marian Doris (nee Michaelis) Raduege on August 19, 1949. Dale graduated from High School and was drafted to the U.S. Army. After coming home Dale worked for Waukesha Foundry for nearly 30 years. He had a love for music, mainly the blues and 50s-70s oldies. His love of music showed itself in his longtime hobby of fixing old radios and turntables, eventually starting his own business to do so called Avalanche Audio. Dale was an old car collector, but it had to be a Chevy, as seen in his collection of a ’69 Nova, ‘65 Impala, ’64 Corvette, and ’93 Silverado, and others that were passed down to his family so the collection could grow. Dale was a BIG Brewers fan and tried to make it to as many games as he could with family, and that included out of town games hoping to make it to as many baseball diamonds as they could around the country. He was also a bit of a telescope collector as he loved Astronomy. Dale will be missed by many.

Dale is survived by his wife Barbara (nee Palmer) Raduege, married on January 3, 2025; daughter, Wendy (fiancée Rick Seder) Brengosz; and grandchild, Logan Carl Brengosz. He is preceded in death by his parents, brother Richard, and wife of 50 years Nancy “Rudy” (nee Miller) Raduege.
