Tony Hallum, 56 passed away on February 19, 2024, at his home in Jordan, MN, surrounded by people who loved him. He had battled esophageal cancer for 4 years until God called him home.
Anthony Shawn Hallum was born on June 27, 1967, in Winona, MN to Clifford and Dianne (Tudahl) Hallum. He was baptized and confirmed in the Rushford Lutheran Church. He graduated with the RHS class of 1985. He began his love of books and history very early in life and was nearly unbeatable in Trivia Pursuit. His sense of humor was legendary.
Tony was active early in scouting and had a paper route with his brother for many years. He shoveled snow and mowed lawns for neighbors before his first real job at McGeorge’s Restaurant. He worked there until his graduation from Winona State University. George and Judy Graham have remained good friends.
Tony entered the Masters History Program at Mankato State University in 1990. Besides being a professor’s teaching assistant, he worked at a restaurant where he met and fell in love with the girl who baked the biscuits.
He married Amy (Bulock) Hallum on August 29th, 1992, at the Salem Lutheran Church in Eagle Lake, MN. They enjoyed Trivia nights at B-Dubs, Renaissance Festivals and exploring bookstores and special weekends in Duluth and Red Wing. Tony also enjoyed golf, wood-working, Ryobi tools and the occasional good cigar.
Tony managed many businesses before working with Mid-County Co-op in Cologne, MN. His customers and co-workers were very important to him. The family is grateful for those who supported him during his cancer fight. During Tony’s career, he gave many young people their first jobs and coached them on how to become a dependable employee. He received an award from the local 4-H for his active support.
He is survived by his wife, Amy Hallum; his mother, Dianne Hallum and brother, Christopher Hallum; Amy’s parents, Judy and Art Bulock and her sister, Tammy Bulock; Uncles and Aunts, Carrol and Darlene Tudahl, Anita (Tudahl) Batchelder, Denny and Mary (Hallum) Nelson, Erik Pawlowski, Steve and Lorraine (Hallum Martin) Stamper, Scott and Carolyn (Hallum) Panning and many close cousins and friends.

Dale Roger Schmitz, 62, of Cologne passed away Wednesday, January 17, 2024.
Memorial Mass of Christian Burial Saturday, January 27, 2024 at 11:00 A.M. at St. Bernard Catholic Church (210 Church Street East) in Cologne with Father Bill Peterson as Celebrant of the Mass. Visitation, Saturday, 9:00 A.M. – 11:00 A.M. at the church. Interment at St. Bernard Catholic Cemetery in Cologne.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Dale Schmitz, a dedicated son, brother, uncle, friend. Faith, farming, firefighting, family, and friends were the most important things in Dale’s life.
Dale was born in Waconia, July 17, 1961 to Roger and JoAnn (Notermann) Schmitz. Dale’s love for farming began early in his life. Growing up surrounded by the beauty of the land, he developed a passion for agriculture that would shape the course of his journey.
Growing up on the family farm, Dale always had a passion for raising beef cattle and hogs. Always waiting for the first day in the fields in spring and the start of fall harvest, if there was a tractor to be driven, Dale was there.
Dale continued his farming passion by working at neighboring farms, especially the Kugath farm. His farming passion cultivated his career at Mid-County Co-op as an agronomy applicator, helping the local farmers prepare their fields for planting. Later, Dale shifted his talents to the Mid-County fuel and LP Gas team.
Dale was a valued member of the Mid-County Co-op family. His contributions to the cooperative went beyond his role; he was a trusted colleague and a friend to many. His work ethic, kindness, and willingness to lend a hand made him an integral part of the Mid-County community.
For 37 years, Dale served as a beacon of strength and bravery as a volunteer firefighter in Cologne. Whether battling flames, aiding during emergencies, or offering comfort to those in distress, Dale’s commitment to his community was unwavering. His dedication and sacrifice will forever be remembered as an integral part of Cologne’s safety and security.
When Dale was not working, he enjoyed time with family and friends. He loved going on family vacations, spending time with his nieces, nephew and great niece and nephews and helping care for his elderly parents. Dale had many friends. He enjoyed time spent at the local pub where he spent a dollar or two on Pull Tabs.
Dale is preceded in death by his grandparents, Martin and Eleanore Schmitz, Arnold and Evelyn Notermann.
Dale is survived by his parents, Roger and JoAnn Schmitz; sister Nancy (Vern) Elke; brother Tom Schmitz; nieces and nephew Mackenzie (Shane) Lobitz, Kelsey Bakeberg (fiance James Winterhalter), Mason Storms; great niece and nephews Elena Bakeberg, Brooks Lobitz, Carson Lobitz, Cullen Bakeberg.
Urn Bearers are Mason Storms, Mackenzie Lobitz, Kelsey Bakeberg.
