Dale loved life, enjoyed watching movies – especially futuristic movies, TV show NCIS, always wanted the latest “gadgets”, but mostly loved spending his life with Dottie, the heart and soul of his life.
Dale was a wonderful loving husband. He would stop what he was doing to help people. He was funny and always made people laugh. He would joke around with you. He enjoyed experiencing new challenges, being on the computer, doing sudoku puzzles, and liked going to the gun range to target practice.
