He is survived by his children, Shawn (Jordan) Zuschin of Seattle, Dale William (Jeannie) Klever of Sutter, and Shelley (Ian) Arnold of Dixon. He is also survived by a sister, Barbara (Terry) Austin of Akron, Ohio; eight grandchildren and one great-grandson.

My prayers are with you Dale. Without your help and guidance I would not have what is my life today. I am so thankful for the riches that have come my way as a result of you starting me on my way with EOS 33 years ago. Karen I still love telling the stories, to the younger people, of the lessons I was able to use through out my life. Including how to play 13 aces at Tess's in Suisun. I have, in times of strife, asked myself "What would Dale do". I will always try to be the professional that he taught me how to be. I will miss him for the rest of my life.
