In 1951 he married his high school sweetheart, Gladys Trierweiler. She survives him. He retired from Motor Wheel Corporation in 1991.
Dale enjoyed grandchildrens’ sporting events, family campouts, St. Pat’s Shamrocks, winters in Arizona , the Detroit Tigers (except Rodney), casinos, Allis Chalmers tractors, practical jokes, and Coke Slurpees. He was proud of his beautiful family and his meticulous yard and garden. He was the best husband, dad and grandpa that any family could have ever asked for. He brought us nothing but joy and happiness.
