Dale was a veteran of the U. S. Army. After his service, he worked at the stockyard for his mother and father.
Dale later became the Logan County Dog Warden. He was an avid hunter, especially mushroom hunting and enjoyed trapping. Dale played softball, was a huge Michigan Wolverines fan, and loved his dogs, especially Dorothy. Dale loved teasing his family members, especially the younger ones, and they loved spending time hanging out in his “fur shed.” Dale will be missed by all.
