Dale LaVerne Schuerman was born to Benhard and Mable Schuerman on November 2, 1928. He was born on the family farm house located west of Plymouth, Nebraska, which is where he grew up. After marrying the love of his life, Carolyn Ruhnke, on June 26, 1949, they purchased the family farm and lived there until they moved to Lincoln in 1971. Their lives were enriched by the birth of their two daughters, Nancy (Dallas) Kiburz of Lincoln and Jeanne (Lloyd) Scheve of Blair.

Brother/sister-in-law, Gordon and Maril Freese; brother, Gary (Bev) Schuerman; and sister, Gwen (Darold) Rahe.
