Dale leaves his loving wife, Joyce DeWitt, and two loving step-daughters, Cydne Jensen and Sara Gilman, their husbands, Mike and Paul, and four grandchildren.
Dale graduated from high school in the Class of '42 served in the U.S. Navy, and was discharged as a lieutenant. He graduated with a BS in Engineering from USC and did graduate work at U of WA in Aerodynamics.
He developed the first operable, on board, solid state turbine engine monitor in the 1980's- on the threshold of today's safety conscious aerospace industry which now monitors engines in
many airplanes and helicopters. He did this with the company he founded in 1980 - Cyberstar.
He also began the development of the first solid state, LCD, vertical bar graph engine installments for the aviation industry. Dale's previously-owned companies, Testco CA and Testco WA, were sold to his engineering manufacturer's rep associates when he began Cyberstar.
Dale was an airplane pilot, sailboat crewman, and sports car enthusiast all his life, beginning in the second seat offisbrother's WACO airplane at the age of 8 in 1932 and continuing on until he owned his own aerobatic aircraft in the mid 1970s.
Dale touched many lives and always acted in a positive way. He thought of others before he thought of himself and was a gentle, kind, and generous man - a man who appreciated his family, friends, and life itself.
