He grew up in the Jacksonville area and graduated from Lee High School in 1951. He relocated to central Florida in the mid 60’s and became a Tool and Die Maker.

In his early years he was a member of the Daytona 200 Motorcycle Club and thoroughly enjoyed the many miles he put on his various motorcycles. Dale bowled at all of the area bowling alleys on various leagues and met and enjoyed many of his friends there. In his retirement years they enjoyed traveling and visited many beautiful places here and abroad.
