Richard Albert Dal Soglio

RUPERT – Richard A. Dal Soglio was born March 19, 1921, in Rupert, Idaho, to Ermette and Anna Leoni Dal Soglio. He grew up in Rupert and served his country as a Marine (Simper Fi) in World War II. He married his sweetheart, Dorothy Huff, in Rupert and they raised their children in Albany, Oregon. They moved back to Burley for five years then transferred to Salt Lake in 1978 where he lived until his death on April 25, 2013.

He has been in the fuel business as an owner of Dal Soglio Distributing and Dal Soglio, Inc., since 1973. He started a legacy of honesty and respect that spans 40 years and three generations. He loved his family, friends and employees with a devoted heart. He will be missed for his wisdom, hugs, and generosity of spirit. His shoes can never be filled, as he left a very large footprint in our hearts.

Douglas (Christine) Dal Soglio of Colorado Springs, Colo.; five grandchildren; and sisters, Olga McBride, Delores (Carl) Staley, and Irene Dal Soglio.
