Dale also leaves behind nine grandchildren; Ryan, Michelle, Cassandra, Julie, Kelly, Kacey, John, Kyra and Katelyn; and 10 great-grandchildren whom he loved with all his heart.

The family would like to thank the many people from ECHN Home Hospice for all the support, dedication, kindness they gave while taking care of Dale and for making the end of his life as comfortable as possible.
