Dale was very creative and loved the challenge of building equipment such as a space ship looking barbeque smoker, water well drilling rig, earth moving bobcat, a solar powered scissor lift hydraulic deer stand and many other things that his wife didn’t seem to appreciate as he did. He also enjoyed wood working projects, hunting, fishing, watching the kids play, and shooting the bull with friends and family. All of these activities created so much fun, laughter, and love for all.
