At Dale's request there will be no services at this time. His wishes were to have a celebration of life at a later date that was convenient for family and friends to gather and remember his life.

He was an advocate for his children when in need. He loved his race cars and his dogs. The best pickle maker!

He had a special appreciation for his Chief, Tim Paul, who was also one of his close friends.

He will be missed by many.

If so desired, donations can be made to Sandra Sappier for his family.
