He enjoyed spending time at their cabin at Little Bear Lake, snowmobiling and quading. He spent many hours grooming the trails at the lake and around Melfort. Dale enjoyed his coffee visits at A&W and Tims with the guys. He was a quiet, caring man who worked hard all his life and was always ready to lend a hand.
He leaves behind his wife of 56 years Elaine, son Marvyn (Debbie), grandchildren Jordan and Jennifer (Quinn), brother Lorne (Shirley), sisters-in-law Yvonne and Pauline (George), brother-in-law Calvin (Colleen) as well as numerous nieces, nephews and treasured friend Fay.
