Dale Brewster Bellows, 71, passed away in Fairfax on May 8, 2022 surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Cambridge on October 20, 1950, son of the late Frederick and Bette (Brewster) Bellows.
Dale worked the family farm in Fairfax for his entire career. He was a maple syrup producer and avid hunter. He was once featured by Ben & Jerry’s for his small farm contribution to the dairy community and was an avid supporter of the St. Albans Cooperative Creamery.
Dale took pride in his local community. In addition to his service to the United Church of Fairfax, he also was a member of the Fairfax Select Board, a Justice of the Peace, a longtime member of the Bellows Free Academy Board of Trustees and a member of the Fairfax Cemetery Commission.
Dale is survived by his daughter, Lauri Bellows Fisher, Esq., and her husband Dale, his son Nathan Bellows and wife Sherry; and two grandchildren, Carter and Hunter Bellows. His son is Car Chief for #18 Kyle Busch/Joe Gibbs Racing and Dale took pride in watching the NASCAR races on weekends with his long-time pal, Richard LeClair. Dale was able to see Nathan on television in his hospital room the Monday prior to his passing and made sure the nursing staff knew “that’s my son!”.
Dale is also survived by his brother James Bellows and wife Leslie, his sister Patti Bellows Smith and husband Mike, brother-in-law Jim Ellsworth, his aunt Louise Counos, uncle Robert Bellows, several nieces and many cousins.
