Dale attended the University of Omaha from 1951-1955 where he received a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration. He enrolled in the air force ROTC and was a member of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. Upon graduation he was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the Air Force. Dale met Sharron in 1953 at a JV football game between North High School and Tech High. It was love at first sight. They didn’t meet again until seven months later at a drive through. Dale proposed to Sharron at Memorial Park in Omaha in March 1956. They married a month later before Dale had to report to duty in San Antonio, TX. Sharron was the love of his life and they enjoyed over 63 years together. Dale shared that the secret to their successful marriage was “Love, Trust, Respect, Best Friends, and Longevity. Dale’s career as a pilot in the Air Force took them to many locations across the US. They welcomed their first daughter, Kim, during an assignment in Greenville, MS. Dale’s last assignment as a fighter pilot was at Halloman Air Force Base where he made many life long friends. He separated from the Air Force as a Lieutenant in May 1959. He drove overnight to Omaha to witness the birth of his second child, Kris. Dale’s career and family took him to Denver and Phoenix where he began his sales career. They welcomed their third daughter, Karen at the Scottsdale Hospital. His success in sales led to his career as a Real Estate broker. He began by owning his own residential company, Gateway Realty, In Hastings, NE. He transitioned into commercial real estate in 1979, which led to a successful career across multiple states before retiring. Dale was a lifelong Nebraska football fan and continued this passion throughout his life. He was deeply religious and practiced God’s teachings. He always believed in forgiveness and second chances. His faith guided his life and brought him peace as he battled his critical health issues. Dale’s love and guidance for his family was unparalleled and all those that knew him adored him. He never met a stranger and was kind and warm to all that crossed his path. He always had a positive attitude, amazing sense of humor, and celebrated family, faith, and nature. Dale will be greatly missed by all those fortunate to know him. He has left a lasting legacy of faith, love and hope.
