Dale had a lifelong appreciation for the traditions of New England, and none was dearer to him than horse pulling. He loved to watch the contests.
Dale is survived by his wife, Blanche Marion Pryor; his children, Joye Pryor, Amy Pryor, and Heidi Bradstreet and her significant other, Kevin Pray; his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who will carry his memory forward; and many nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his parents, Ralph and Dora Pryor; his brothers, Ellis and Wallace; and his sister, Diane Richerson.
