Dale was a dedicated service man who loved a good challenge. He served in Desert Storm and was one the few mechanics who was certified to approach the presidents plane. He could fix nearly any engine, most of the time by simply standing next to it and listening. Dale loved learning and knowledge and loved to challenge himself. He loved to play cards and gamble and anything that required a good logical thinker. He enjoyed sitting by the ocean and listening to the waves crash and was a Star-Trek fanatic. He had a witty sense of humor and tons of brilliant one-liners.
