He was a veteran of the United States Army Reserves, the owner and operator of his own floor installation business and served as a deacon at Parkview Baptist Church. He was known for his quick wit and sense of humor. His most favorite title was Pawpaw Dale. In his spare time he enjoyed spending time at lakes and rivers with his family and friends. He spent countless hours teaching kids how to water ski and slinging them off inner tubes!

Those left to cherish his memory are his daughters, Becky Rainwater (Tim), Stacy Thurmon (Kenny); granddaughters, Kayla Black (Brent), Kara Rainwater, Karlee Thurmon; great granddaughters, Adelyn and Ansley Black; brother, Rodney Stringfellow (Pat); sister, Kay Freeman; and numerous nieces, nephews and friends.

The family wishes to extend thanks to the staff at Hudson Memorial Nursing Home and Arkansas Hospice for their wonderful care.
