- Dr. Dale C. Kana, 79, died on February 14, 2013, at Sanford Hospital, Palliative Care, Fargo.
Dale was born April 25, 1933, in Grand Forks, North Dakota to Lawrence and Frances (Dokken) Kana. He grew up in Grand Forks and graduated from Central High School. He received his B.A at the University of North Dakota in 1956 and in 1957 got his B.S. He then attended the University of Kansas Medical School in Kansas City, Kansas, where he received his Medical Degree in 1959.
In 1964, Dr. Kana bought his own practice in Fargo and practiced on his own for several years until he and a group of family practice doctors joined forces in 1970 and moved into the Professional Building, which Dale and seven other doctors contracted to have built.
In 1981, the Family Practice group joined the Fargo Clinic which later became MeritCare, which then became Sanford. Dale was a family practice mentor for several years for junior UND medical students which he enjoyed very much. He was the team doctor for Coach Mary Skaar's basketball teams at NDSU and Moorhead State and physician for the Burlington Northern Railroad.
In 1986, for a period of five years, Dr. Kana practiced in Detroit Lakes where he helped establish the MeritCare Clinic and aided in the planning of the new clinic building. He then returned to his office at Southwest Clinic in Fargo where he remained until his retirement in 1999.
Dale loved to golf, hunt, fish, play bridge and poker with his friends. He curled in Grafton, Detroit Lakes and Fargo. He was a member of the Fargo Country Club and Elks Club for many years. His favorite place to fish was on Pelican Lake near his cottage at a spot that was named Kana's Island because of all the walleyes he caught there.
Dale married LoAnn Burman from Grand Forks in 1955. She survives with their three daughters, Deborah Morin and Lori Kana, both of Fargo; Barbara (Todd) Heiser of DeWitt, MI; three grandchildren, Dale Peter Morin, Fargo; Madeline and Max Heiser, DeWitt, Michigan.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and brothers, Darrell and Larry.
