Dale lived a passionate life filled with many fantastically customized vehicles, larger than life experiences and one of a kind situations that brought together people across many walks of life and across many paths.

A complicated man, loved by many, leaves behind an adoring cadre of people who will continue to carry his essence in our hearts and memories.
