He was born and raised east of Sidney on the family farm in Prairie Township along with his twin brother, Gale. Dale and his brother attended the Riverside Country School just south of the family farmstead. They would ride their pony or bicycles about a mile and a half down the road (known as Greedysville Road) to and from school each day. After graduating from the eighth grade at Riverside Country School, Dale continued his schooling at the Sidney High School in Sidney, where he graduated with the class of 1952 and was an avid athlete. After graduating, Dale continued working on the family farm with his brother and father. In 1956, Dale enlisted in the U.S. Army where he served for two years and served two years in the Iowa National Guard. He was united in marriage to Sharon L. Thompson on May 3, 1966 in Tabor, Iowa. To this union three children were born: Cliff, Lorie and Julie. After selling the family farm years later, Dale worked for the Sidney Community Schools as the Director of Building, Grounds and Transportation. Dale enjoyed sports of all kinds. He loved and worked as an Official at the Sidney, Iowa Championship Rodeo since he was in the 8th grade taking care of livestock and maintaining the Rodeo Grounds. He never missed a performance. Dale loved being around his family, especially his brother. There was never a dull moment when we were all together.
