"Dale loved hunting, fishing, and joking with friends. He was generous beyond words. It was common for Dale to give his knife to a kid or his hunting rifle to someone who needed one. He loved taking kids hunting and fishing. Many children owe their first hunting and fishing trip to Dale. Dale was beloved by his family and friends. He never met someone he didn’t talk too, and you could always tell where Dale was in the crowd as people would be laughing. For instance, the nurses at the hospital moved his chair out to their station because they loved talking to him. As long as we live, Dale too will live, for he is a part of us. While Dale will be greatly missed by his family and friends, his generosity and spirit will live on through the lives he touched.
