Dale was born in Charleston to Frank E. and Delia E.

He attended Charleston Providence Separate Baptist Church.  Dale was a lifetime farmer and a loving father, who will be missed greatly.  We will miss going to the Chinese buffet and our country drives.

We would like to thank all the doctors and staff at SBLHC and Lincolnland Hospice for all their great care.
