Most of Dale's public school education was in the Ord, Nebraska Grade School, and High School, but his finished high School in Hastings, Nebraska, in 1955. He was graduated from Hastings College in Hastings, NE in 1960, after which he attended Princeton (Presbyterian) Seminary in New Jersey and became a Presbyterian minister.
He married (1st) to Miss Janet "Jan" Beyer, whom he met at Hastings College. He had three children by his first wife: Philip Dale, Susan, and Andrew "Andy." They divorced. He remarried. Jan did not. Dale had no children by his second wife Helen Kathryn Strong.
He served congregations in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, and Arizona. And for awhile he was a development officer for Cook Training School in Arizona. (Cook was a school that trained American Indians to be Christian ministers.) He was the organizing of a new congregation in Clive, Iowa (a suburb of Des Moines): Heartland Presbyterian Church, where he began in 1992 to form that congregation. From there he moved to Arizona where he'd worked earlier in his ministry.
He died of heart attack. Half of his cremains were scattered at Victor, Colorado and half at Ghost Ranch, Albiquiu, New Mexico, which were two of Dale's favorite locations.
