MILFORD – Dale Alan Rustin, 52, passed away Sept. 28, 2009. He was born April 13, 1957, in Bangor, a son of Wesley J. Sr. and Mary E. (Francis) Rustin. Dale was a lifelong resident of Milford and graduated from Old Town High School, Class of 1976. He was a very giving and selfless person who never asked for help in return. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, riding his motorcycle with family, and especially spending time at hunting camp. He was a hard worker and enjoyed his work as a heavy equipment operator at Sargent Corp., where he had been employed since 1986. He will be dearly missed by his Sargent family. Above all else, Dale was a family man. He loved his wife, Karen; and daughter, Nicole, unconditionally. He was the proudest dad of his daughter Nicole and all that he had helped her accomplish. He enjoyed family gatherings and cookouts and will love his “large celebration of life barbecue” to come. Dale is survived by his parents, Wesley and Mary Rustin of Milford; his beloved wife of 28 years, Karen (Hachey) Rustin; his daughter – “Daddy’s little girl” – “Nic” Nicole Rustin and her fiance, Chuck Hogan, of Bradley; brother, Wesley Rustin Jr. and his wife, Jean and their daughter, Shawna, his special niece and partner in crime, of Milford; sister, Debbie Forsing of Milford and her children, Stephanie and Chad, Belva Hamlin of Standish and her children, Scott and Amy; his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Gayland and Sylvia Hachey of Veazie; brother-in-law, Michael Hachey and his wife, Lisa and their son, Matthew, of Greenbush; very near and dear friends, Roger and Donna Bond; his special companion, his dog, Callie; many close friends and extended family.
