Dale left a lasting legacy here on earth for others to follow. When trying to highlight Dales life it seemed impossible. He served our country, raised two children, started a business, and could do anything. Dale was a hero to many, so summarizing his life up in a few words seemed like a fruitless effort. While we still believe this we are going to do our best to do him justice, and hopefully show you a little bit of the person he was. Our family has always been close and always stuck together. He took care of everyone in one-way or another. Dale always saw the best in everyone and never spoke ill of anyone. Dale enjoyed traveling in his motor coach with his wife, Sharon, and beloved dog, Hank. He also could not resist his nightly bowl of ice cream with Hank. Dale was known for taking rides on his Harley and attending Sturgis. Dale enjoyed exploring the Southwest Florida waters. Dale loved sharing his Florida home with family and friends. And was also known for taking friends out for a great dinner and you had better not try to pay the bill. Memories of Dale will live on through all who knew him. He will be deeply missed. We are ever so grateful for the time he had with us here on earth. Dale was a member of the Masons and Capri Christian Church of Isle of Capri, Florida. We have all had a piece of us taken away but we can rest easy knowing he is in a much better place. Dale is survived by his wife Sharon L.
