Dale’s loves were many including, in no particular order: trains, travel, teasing, camping, photography, baseball, and Kay, who he married in 1957.  He spent his whole career with the Bank of Montreal, starting in 1954, spending time in Neepawa, Morris, Winnipeg, Regina, Canora, Whitewood, and Moose Jaw.  Early on he participated in baseball, curling and many other community activities and made lifelong friends with Bob and Yvonne Allen, and Wayne and Mary Sparling.  He was always very actively involved in the church.  Dale loved spending time with family and friends and adored all the time he got to spend with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  His last major trip was to Darryl’s cottage in Nova Scotia in July 2019, where the entire family managed to get together.

Dale and Kay made the move to Wintergreene Estates in September 2020 where they enjoyed the lifestyle and social activities.

A private funeral service will be held on Jan 2, 2021. The family would like to thank the entire staff of the Pasqua Hospital Palliative Care Unit for their care and compassion.  In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the charity of your choice.
