Dale was born January 23rd, 1935, in Edson, Alberta, and later moved to Lethbridge with his parents.  Dale attended school at McLean School and later McNally school where he met Audrey in grade 6.  He and Audrey married in 1957 and lived in Calgary before moving to Lethbridge where Dale worked as a Steam Engineer at the Lethbridge Correctional Centre for 35 years.

Dale loved sports and over the years played broomball, hockey, and played slow pitch for many years, travelling to St. George, Utah, for the Huntsman World Senior Games for 20 years.  Dale had a love for bowling starting in 1959 and continuing until last year.  Dale was outgoing and made friends everywhere he went, and he and Audrey welcomed everyone into their home. Dale was so loved and will be greatly missed.

Dale’s family would like to thank the doctors and staff at Chinook Regional Hospital and Tara and Monique at the heart clinic.

In lieu of flowers the family asks that you donate to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or any charity of your choice.
