Dale was born in Barnes City, Iowa on October 7, 1939. He graduated from Geneseo High School in 1957 and worked as a Journeyman Wireman with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (NECA-IBEW Local Union #145). He enjoyed many things with his family, such as golfing, shooting pool, woodworking, and watching westerns. He fulfilled many roles in the First Baptist Church of East Moline, such as deacon and young adult Sunday School teacher. Anyone who ever met Dale would note his wonderful sense of humor, his genuine passion for life and his unwavering faith in God.

Memorial donations may be made to The First Baptist Church of East Moline. The family wishes to thank everyone for their prayers and support; they are especially thankful to Ronald Fiscella, doctor and friend, and the Unity Point Hospice nurses for their compassionate and professional care.
