In his travels he met a lot of wonderful people and became good friends with most if not all of them. He will be forever remembered and known as a great handyman and Mr. fix it and for his love of animals. Dale was an awesome husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle and friend. We all love you and will miss you very much.
