..With the help of his brothers, Dale built his own home. He loved to hunt, fish, snowmobile and tease people. He always had a practical joke to play on some unsuspecting victim. He could always tell a hunting or fishing story and was always looking forward to the next hunting season. Dale loved little children and they loved him.

..After retirement, Dale and Lois had a cabin built at Groundhog and loved the many hours spent there with snowmobiling friends and others.
..Dale was a very respected man in his farming community and his special ways will be missed by all.
