Dale was a huge Green Bay Packer fan. He enjoyed electric train sets and riding four wheelers. His greatest joy came from being with his family. Especially doing anything that involved his grandchildren; swimming, reading to them or simply just playing on the floor with them; just to name a few, if his grandchildren were involved Dale was all in.
