He was the proud father of Kim Hood, Pam (Tim) Ried, Richard (Annette) Theobald, and Patti (Brad) Keffeler, always willing to lend a hand, give wise counsel or a word of caution.

A man of many interests, Dale was an active church member all his life, most recently at Spring Valley PCA, Roselle, IL. He participated in the Society of Plastic Engineers serving in many roles leading up to President. He served in Mended Hearts at Alexian Brothers Hospital, and enjoyed participating at the Park District Fitness Center and their social gatherings.
Dale was an avid collector, loved gardening, dogs and was a student of the stock exchange.
Special thanks to Divine Hospice of Yorkville, IL for their help in Dale's final days.
Interment will be at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery on November 15, 2019 at 11:00 am.
