Dale was born in Cheyenne, WY and raised in Lovelock, NV. He served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. He graduated from UNLV while working with Nevada Bell. He transferred to San Francisco and met Leslie while both were working at the telephone company and were married for 51 years. He is also survived by his son Samuel and 2 grandsons.
Dale retired after 40 years with Pacific Bell and he and Leslie moved to Valle Vista with the first group of new homeowners in January 1999. Dale worked for the Villages Post Office for 7 years, enjoyed golf, was active in his church and the High Twelve Masonic Club, and was involved in many volunteer activities over the years.
He’ll always be remembered for his warm smile and gentle manner and greeting everyone while walking his precious dogs. He sincerely loved living in The Villages. Per his request, no services will be held.
