Dale worked as a self-employed carpenter and in construction his whole life. He had a knack for being able to look at something and figure out how to do it.

Dale loved the outdoors, gardening, fishing, hunting, and mushroom hunting. He enjoyed watching football, including his two favorite teams, the Cleveland Browns and The Ohio State Buckeyes. Dale had a great sense of humor. His family will miss being able to talk sports with him and playing family games together, including cornhole, and he was very competitive and hard to beat.
