He never married or had children, but that didn’t exclude him from having an incredible life full of interest and hobbies. He loved baseball and softball and played it for many years. He absolutely loved Mustangs, both the cars and airplanes. He often used a flight simulator and built model airplanes. His father taught him woodworking. He also enjoyed hand radio, guitar, and his beloved cats Smudge and Scottie.

Dale worked for Eagle Aviation as an Avionics Technician for 5 years.Then retired from State DOT in the IT department in 2018 after 29 years of service. Over the last two years he was on volunteer staff at Saluda River Baptist Church working on social media, website, and other IT projects.
