Within his last few years, he would often travel about town with his camera practicing amateur photography. He was an active and dedicated member of Immanuel Lutheran Church and often volunteered his services and assistance for numerous activities. He was well known for his generosity. Denelle said it best, "He probably fixed something for you, built your porch, or rewired your house and wouldn't let you pay him." He was that type of man, that member of the family, and that kind of friend. Dale had a very close relationship with all of his grandchildren. He was very proud of them and always excited to have them around. Dale is survived by his children, Denelle C. (Finken) Bratcher and her husband, Timothy W. Bratcher, Steven F. Finken, and Damon M.
