Dale graduated from Old North High School and proudly served in the U.S. Air Force in crypto intelligence in Turkey and at the Pentagon. He then graduated from The Ohio State University and became a CPA. He became very good friends with many of his clients. He received great joy from his children. Family get-togethers were so important to Dale, whether just a small number or the entire extended family. He loved them all so much.

He loved nature and all God's creation. Dale loved to travel out west, to go camping, and to visit Canada, Florida, England and Germany. He was a true Buckeye fan, and was thrilled to see The Bucks become National Champions the evening before he died. Dale loved the Lord and knew Jesus as his Savior. A Celebration of Life will be held at North Broadway United Methodist Church, 48 E North Broadway, Columbus, Ohio 43214, on Wednesday January 29 at 3:00 pm. The family will receive visitors from 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm at the church. Flowers may be sent to North Broadway Church, or donations can be made in Dale's memory to your favorite charity.
