Dale loved his Buckeyes, was an avid fisherman who could be found at Buckeye Lake many a days, and whether it be a team sport or as an individual, he was one of the most competitive men we knew! His specialties included bowling, softball, golf, billiards, darts, cards, corn hole, and he was even known to play some beer pong a time or two! He was a young soul in a senior body!
