ROCHESTER - Albert Nelson Dingle, 95, of Rochester, MN, died Tuesday (June 14, 2011) at Seasons Hospice in Rochester.
Nels, as he was known to everybody, was born May 22, 1916 in Bismarck, ND, the second of six children of the Late Nan and Victor Dingle. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his first wife of 53 years, Eleanor Nelson, three brothers, and two sisters.
Left to cherish his memory is his wife of 14 years Florence Altenbernt, his daughter Karen Imboden of Frederick, MD; his son Timothy of Ann Arbor, MI; three grandchildren, and four great grandchildren.

He earned a Master of Science in Meteorology in 1945, and a Doctor of Science in Meteorology in 1947 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He taught Meteorology and Cloud Science at the University of Michigan until he retired in 1988. Classical music was a great love of his and he supported the Arts where ever he lived. He sang in the choir of Zion Lutheran Church in Ann Arbor and was very active in Lutheran Social Services of Michigan. He was also active in the Desert Hills Lutheran Church of Green Valley, AZ, where he sang in the choir and started the Men's Bible discussion group called the Bookmen.
A memorial service will be 1:00 p.m. Thursday at Shorewood Commons in Rochester with Pastor Jason Bryan-Wegner of Zumbro Lutheran Church officiating.
