Dale loved to hunt with his children, making them climb mountains far and wide for "that" elusive buck. He loved to fish, but did not have the patience to let the hook hit the water. In his many years of racing ,he may have lost some races, but never lost his lead foot. Dale's love of Halloween and scaring the bajeebers out of people was a life long passion, and lives on through his children. If in need of wisdom or laughs, join Dale around the campfire with a glass of Jack. Dale was a meticulous man, especially when mowing lawn. If not on his lawn tractor, usually you could find him in his wood shop. "Just don't mess up the grass"
