Dale attended airline school in Hartford, Connecticut in 1956. He dedicated 40 years as an agent and supervisor for United Airlines in D.C., Atlanta, New Orleans, Baltimore and Houston. This allowed him and his family to see the world which he adored. He was also a proud member of the Louisiana National Guard from 1954 to 1962, reflecting his dedication to serving his country. He spent his retirement years as a hay farmer on the property in Garland along the banks of Bayou Boeuf.

Dale’s personality shone brightly through the roles he cherished most. He was a wonderful husband to his beloved wife, Catherine Lafleur St. Cyr, and a loving father to their children, his sons, Dane Alexander St. Cyr (Nancy) and Brad St. Cyr, along with his daughters, Nancy Elaine WeHunt (John), Beth Marie Helm (Roger), and Aimee Lafleur St. Cyr (Colin Murphy).

He enjoyed many cherished moments with them, creating lasting memories that will be fondly remembered by all.

Dale loved the great outdoors, spending time hunting and fishing on the bayous of Louisiana, the eastern shore of Maryland, and in south Texas. Music and dance were also a big part of his life, with favorites such as Hank Williams, jitterbug and square dancing in the campgrounds of the Smokies. Throughout his lifetime, Dale demonstrated a commitment to his community. He was a proud member of the American Legion Post 209 - Jasper Neyland in Washington, Louisiana, and a longtime parishioner and choir member of Immaculate Conception Church, where he developed strong ties with fellow members.

Dale was involved in various community initiatives, serving on the Prairie Ronde Water Board for 17 years and contributing to the District 3 Road Commission. His leadership was further exemplified during his time as president of the Beggs Volunteer Fire Department. Most importantly, Andrew held his children’s education dear, enthusiastically attending all their PTA meetings, which reflects his unwavering support and pride in their achievements.
