He went to college at Iowa Wesleyan where he received a Major in Physics and a Minor in Math. Dale then attended University of Iowa for his degree in Mechanical Engineering. Dale loves to explore his creativity in woodworking and solving problems. Dale showed me some of his woodworking creations and they are truly works of art. Riverdale’s own Dale Hupp has one patent. Dale created and patented a tool sharpener and was able to check “creating a patent” off his bucket list. Another thing he is currently working on is a new state of the art speaker system. Dale has made many contributions to the Riverdale area. Dale lived in the Crissy House for 5 years and built his current residence on Manor Drive. He has helped support Alcoa by working there for a total of 35 and half years before retiring. After retiring he was a consultant at Alcoa for 6 years. He has worked for the Riverdale Fire Department 42 years and served as 1st Assistant Chief for 25 years. He was part of the opening of the New City Hall and has high hopes for Riverdale’s future. He told me he sees Riverdale doubling in size, the City Hall expanding to accommodate the size change, and the Community College flourishing. You will be seeing Dale Hupp, serving as the Grand Marshall, of the Riverdale’s Parade. If you or someone you know would like to be in the parade please call: 425 780-3360.
