We call this Uncle Dale's house because Uncle Dale Percy lived here with his lovely wife, Jeannine, until his passing in September 2020 at 94 years old. Uncle Dale was an absolute legend. He was kind, brilliant, funny, innovative and overall wonderful person:

A bit of history:
Dale Elton Percy was eleven years old in 1937 when his parents moved him, along with his older sister Lucille, and younger siblings Dana and Phyllis to Stowe. His parents, Elton and Leona, came to Stowe after selling their farm in Sheffield VT to help Dale’s grandmother and her husband Allie Weeks on their farm.

At this time the farm used horses, and electricity was scarce. Weeks Hill Road was a dirt single lane road. Dale graduated from Stowe High School in 1944 and worked the farm with his father. As the farm progressed to using machinery, Dale was introduced to, and became very interested in, hydraulics.

Dale always looked for a better, more efficient way to accomplish a task. In the late 40’s Dale and his brother, Dana, started doing excavation with machinery from the farm. This was the start of Dale E. Percy Excavation. It didn’t take long for Dale to decide he had enough of loading the family truck by hand to deliver materials. He built a loader from tractor and truck parts. Later he mounted a backhoe on a truck. Dana operated this machine to dig cellar holes. Many of the older hotels in Stowe were done with this machinery. Round Hearth, Stowe Center, Mountaineer, and Topnotch to name a few. He was called upon to do many different jobs. He was hired to get material to the top of Mt. Mansfield when the first Channel 3 Tower was built and to bury a power cable to the top of the first Gondola.

Over the years he made many prototypes of equipment and machinery, which were used in the excavation company, but the only patent he received was for a sander he developed in the 80’s. He had an engineering mind, even if he didn’t have the diploma to back it up. He was always ready and willing to help. Many referred to him when they couldn’t solve a problem. He enjoyed discussing his theories on the flow of water and streambank erosion. People will surely remember him talking about rivers.

Dale had many enjoyments in life and one was having a pilot’s license. He enjoyed taking his mother for rides in the plane and teaching his brother to fly. He also learned and perfected how to wax and edge skis during this time period, probably on his own skis. This was done at Charlie Daly’s shop. Dale loved to tell the story that he edged and waxed the skis that Ralph Miller used to set the speed record in 1955 for downhill ski racing that held for 15 years.

Dale was a Town of Stowe Selectman for nine years. He was also a board member of the Mountain Trust Bank (now Peoples United Bank). At one point he owned the Matterhorn and was a 50% owner of a John Deere Dealership in Williston, Vt.

In the late 1980s Dale left the daily operations of his excavation business and devoted his time to friends and family to hunt, fish and travel. He traveled to fish in Western NY, Michigan, Alaska, and to Canada to hunt geese. It was very important for him to maintain his relationships with his dear friends.

It was the hunting trips in Canada that would change his life forever. On one of those trips in 1985, he met and fell in love with Jeannine Fortin from St-Jean-Port-Joli, Quebec. They were married in Canada in 1991. Their lives were well established when they married. The respect of each other was important. With Jeannine he traversed the US and Canada, camping along the way from one ocean to the other. They travelled to Europe four times. Both realized some of their dreams while respecting the other’s values.

Dale had an ear to listen and a story to tell. His clear, funny, witty, responses, never got old. His relationship with his siblings, were strong throughout their lives. And although Dale didn’t have children of his own, he embraced his nieces and nephews and created bonds with each of them through time spent hunting, fishing, and working on various hobby projects. As they married, he also created special bonds with their spouses.

Dale was always easy to be around. He was a man of integrity that followed his principles. He was someone that would lookout for what was fair and best for the people around him -his friends, family and employees would all vow to that. He believed in doing right by others, and they in return would do right by him.
