As a teenager, Dale worked at Smart Field (now St. Charles County Airport) where he would fuel and park airplanes. This passion led him to a career at Ozark Airlines where he worked as a lead agent for over thirty years. After retirement, Dale continued to play the organ, which was something he did until he passed away. He then went on to play events and grow in the musical industry, where he was taught by Myron Floren of the Lawerence Welk Show. He even had the great opportunity to play one with the great Desi Arnaz. Dale had a lifelong passion for music and was an accomplished accordion player by the time he was a teenager.
Dale was a loving father and grandfather and enjoyed spending time with his children, grandchildren, and great grandchild camping. His grandchildren were the light of his life. He will be remembered for his goofy personality and always making others laugh or smile. Dale was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
