Dale enjoyed outdoor activities: hunting and fishing. He loved spending time with friends and family. His very favorite activity was dancing with his sweetheart of almost 65 years. Dale was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and great-great grandfather. He was a loved and loving uncle to many nieces and nephews. He was a good example to everyone around him. Left to honor his memory are his wife, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great grandson, and his step- sister Jo Cox of North Carolina.

You were most cherished Uncle Dale and will be missed. Aunt Donna, Pam, Tom, and all your families, our prayers are for peace and comfort for you. Love, The Weakleys

He was my Dad. Of course, I could write a book - so briefly... He was always the example. He was honest, decent, hard working, frugal, analytical, serious(but not always). He loved his family and I never lacked anything that I really needed. He served his country enough for both of us , both in World War II and even going to VietNam as a civilian in the middle of the war. He planned enough that he was able to retire at 62 and enjoy traveling and SubVets. He initiated my love for fishing, hunting, and the outdoors. He kept me from being a juvenile delinquent. I love him and will miss him, but I'm glad he didnt have to suffer any more than he did. And yes, he was even an example in his death, looking it in the eye, and saying, "It's my time" . He was not afraid to meet his Maker, and I know he is with Him.
-- Tom Scott
Donna:
Our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family!
May the Lord give you the strength and energy to help you through this difficult time.
Dale has no more pain and is at peace.

It was an honor to know Dale. When he crossed the gangway to heaven, he saluted and asked Jesus for permission to come aboard. Jesus said "welcome aboard my faithful son-carry on."
