Dale grew up in the Akron, Ohio area with his parents and 5 siblings. In high school he met his longtime sweetheart Linda and post high school joined the Navy where he started to cut hair. Dale married Linda in 1979 and moved to Tennessee in 1984, and in 1989 and 1993 had their children, James V Huff and DJ Huff.
Dale wore many hats in his life, and Music was one of his many loves (besides Linda). Dale started singing in the church choir in his youth and went on to sing in Barbershop Quartets, and later the World Renowned Music City Chorus in Nashville, and enjoyed performing all around the country.
He also was a Master Barber for many years, owning many salons including Dale's Cut & Putt in Smyrna Tennessee.
Dale suffered for many years with his health, but was blessed to receive a full heart transplant in October, 2017, which quite literally saved his life. The family would like to sincerely thank ALL of the medical personnel that have had parts in his continued recovery. Your continued care and support mean so much.

Dale was a great barber and barbershop singer. I remember when several of the music city guys went to visit him at his shop. We sang as a quartet to celebrate true "barbershop harmony" it was a blast.

I will miss him

Best wishes to his family at this difficult time.
