Dale was raised in the Salt Lake City, Utah area, but his family relocated to St. George, where he later enrolled in the National Guard. In August of 1950, his unit was called into active duty to serve in the Korean War. He left for Korea in January 1951 and served there until February of 1952.

Dale went on to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Chicago, IL.

He enjoyed studying genealogy and visiting the temple after his retirement.

Dale worked as State Correctional Officer at the Utah State Prison and then later transferred to working as a counselor to inmates released into a halfway house. Dale was known for loving to play a game of pool at the halfway house, giving his opponents the advantage by him using a broomstick, but he would still beat them.
