Dale was confirmed on June 24, 1956 at Grace Lutheran Church in Augusta, and it was Grace Lutheran that he continued his membership. He graduated from Augusta High School in 1960, and then was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1963, serving in California and Germany. Following his honorable discharge in 1966, he returned to Augusta.

Dale looked forward to the great times he had with his family during the various hunting and fishing seasons and the ice fishing trips to North Dakota. He loved playing cards and teaching his strategies to his children. Dale especially enjoyed spending time with his family, he and Mavis always made every effort to attend games and school functions that their children and grandchildren participated in.
