Since the passing of Melanie, he had several people in his life that he loved spending time with. Dale loved many things in life. He was very close to his mother and was her immediate care taker the last several years.

He was very proud of his US Air Force Service and his time serving the country overseas. He met his wife, Melanie as a patient needing physical therapy and started a long relationship ending in marriage until her passing in 2002. They both had a love of hot rods and motorcycles, owning several and using them to enjoy life to the fullest. Even though they had decided to not have any children, they substituted this with their love of their dogs. Dale was a gentle giant to all, the love and respect from his nephew, niece and grandnephews and grandniece show how big his heart was to all.
