He was a loving husband, father, brother, and grandfather. He grew up in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and attended Tuscaloosa High School. After high school, Dale went on to join the military.

After thirty-seven years of service, he retired from BF Goodrich to spend time with his family. Dale was very involved in the local 351 union where he was a time study engineer. Dale spent many of his years earlier in his life playing softball and went on to be inducted into the Softball Hall of Fame. Later in life, he enjoyed spending his time with his family and especially his grandchildren and great grandchildren as they were his pride and joy.
