Affectionately known as MOLB - Mrs. Ogden's Little Boy - Dale grew up diving in the St. Clair River and playing goalie on his hockey team. After high school, he worked in a machine shop before joining the Merchant Marines, sailing the Great Lakes on the Verona. Soon after joining the Army in 1960, Dale was stationed in Korea, where he met his future wife Kae Sun. They married, had two children and shared 57 years together. During his 28 years in the military, Dale worked in Ordinance and left the service as a Sergeant Major. He enjoyed target shooting, with a particular interest in muzzleloading and the mountain man era. Dale was a hard-working, kind, fair and generous man who was quick to crack a joke and always willing to lend a hand.
