John Dale Elliott

John "Dale" Elliott, 86, of New Alexandria, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, Jan. 6, 2013, in Crest Personal Care Home. He was born Nov. 16, 1926, in New Alexandria, a son of the late Harry and Lydia Elliott. Dale had worked for Youngs Heating in New Alexandria and upon its closing he went to work at Clair E. Fink Plumbing and Heating of Youngstown, from where he retired. He belonged to Community United Presbyterian Church of New Alexandria. Dale was a caring individual.
