Dale was born into an Air Force family on June 21, 1955 in Essex, United Kingdom. He graduated from high school in Bitburg, Germany and attended the University of Puget Sound and Northwood University, earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration. He started his professional career in 1976 with the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES), rising through the ranks and retiring in April 2011 as a Senior Vice President. His career took Dale and his family to assignments in Germany, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Guam, Okinawa and throughout the US. One of the proudest moments of his career was when Dale oversaw AAFES operations in Kuwait and Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Dale was honored to receive the Military Order of Saint Christopher in June 2010 and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Logistics Association in 2011.
Dale had many passions in life. He was an avid golfer, fisherman and antique collector. Dale enjoyed exploring the world and learning about all cultures, people and their food. He embraced his British-American roots and admired Sir Winston Churchill. Dale especially loved his new role as grandfather to twin boys who inspired him to fight his disease when the odds were against him.
