Dale S. Seltun

Dale Sherman Seltun, age 74 of Rochester, passed away peacefully at his home on Tuesday, September 2, 2014, from cardiac complications.

Dale was born on December 2, 1939 in Frost, Minnesota to Severt and Stella Seltun. He was baptized on January 28, 1940 at Bricelyn Lutheran Church. He was confirmed at Winnebago Lutheran Church and was a 1957 graduate of Bricelyn High School. Dale and his brother Jerry bought a corn shelling business and worked for three years until it was suggested by an older barber in Bricelyn, MN to attend Barber School. He completed his six-month  training and later started his own barber shop, Total Image, located  in the subway of the Kahler Hotel.  He successfully owned and operated his barbering business for over 50 years. Dale married Joyce Brech of Albert Lea in 1960. The couple had three sons, Lonnie, Leslie and Lance. Dale was also previously married to Linda Sheffler and Mary Seltun respectively.

Dale enjoyed golf and was proud of getting a hole-in-one.  He also loved fishing, hunting, playing cards (Lady Luck was a good friend) and working on his farm. He especially enjoyed taking his fully restored 1950 Mercury out on drives and to many car shows. Dale enjoyed ancestry  research and successfully located relatives in Laerdal, Norway and visited them several times, as well as hosting them locally.

The activity he enjoyed most was spending any time with his family and friends.
