Wilmer Ray �Buddy� Hale
Aug 28, 1924 - Sep 24, 2017
Wilmer Ray Hale, 93,
resident of Dawson, passed
away Sunday September 24,
2017 in Tyler at his
daughter and full time
caregivers home.
Funeral services will be
held 11:00 a.m. Friday at
Dawson United Methodist
Church where Mr. Hale was a
long time member, with
interment to follow at
Dawson cemetery.
Wilmer - better, and more
affectionately, known as
�Buddy� - was born August
28, 1924 in Dawson to Noah
Delaney Hale and Myrtle (Halbrooks)
Hale. He attended Dawson
High School until the 8th
grade, when he left to work
on the family farm where he
learned many valuable skills
and life lessons. He proudly
served our nation as a staff
sergeant in the
US Army
during WWII (1945-1946),
during which he worked in a
POW camp on the island of
Saipan. During that time,
Wilmer carried a spirit of
kindness with him everywhere
he went, making life-long
friends not just with fellow
service members but Saipanese natives and
captives as well.
In his early years he
delivered Mobil gas and
helped run his wife's, Wavis,
family grocery store in
Dawson. He attended Navarro
college where he learned
mechanics, but he became a
plumber after leaving
school. Through his trade,
he became essential to the
water departments of both
the cities of Dawson and
Corsicana. He found himself
capably front-and-center
during huge undertakings,
such as the transition of
services from the old Dawson
lake to the Navarro mills
reservoir or a pesky break
in a water main in town, you
could see Wilmer there first
on the scene.
Wilmer kept busy with many
job titles and odd jobs over
the years. When he wasn't
fixing Dawson and Navarro
counties plumbing woes, you
could find him doing a
little bit of everything. He
was a carpenter, an angler,
a farmer, a bookkeeper, a
philanthropist, a bar-b-cue
joint owner, a butcher, a
fireman, an equestrian, a
rooster tamer, and a domino
whiz.
Along with his paid job
titles, Wilmer served as
Fire Marshal for 50 years,
was on the City Council, won
Man of the Year, taught
Sunday school, was a member
of the Lions club and was a
member of Woodmen of the
World. He always believed in
staying busy, and helping
people, so there was very
little free time between
fixing things for folks
around Dawson and caring for
as many stray animals as he
and Wavis could manage at
the time.
Buddy was a pillar in his
community, always the first
to show up to help, the last
to leave, and the one to
stop by a few days later
asking how you were. He so
enjoyed children, just
having fun, and laughter;
Wilmer always had a good
joke! Family and friends
were absolutely precious to
Buddy. He made countless
happy memories with his
daughter, granddaughter,
great granddaughters,
sister, nephews and nieces,
special neighbors, cousins,
and many other family
friends, all of which he and
Wavis loved to document in
pictures. Wilmer made every
little part of life fun by
being kind to everyone he
met. The family will receive
friends from 6:00-8:00 p.m.
Thursday, September 28 at
Wade Funeral Home in
Hubbard.
Wilmer was preceded in death
by his parents, his wife
Wavis Adelia Ivy Hale in
2006, and his sister Jewell
Hale Guest in 2015.
Survivors include his
daughter Diana Hale Barnett,
granddaughter Katharine
Barnett, and two great
granddaughters Preslee and
Penny, all of Tyler, as well
many other nieces, nephews,
cousins, neighbors, friends,
along with many Georges and
Mabels.
Pallbearers will be members
of the Dawson Volunteer Fire
Department.
