Soon after graduation he began his career as an automotive technician leading to opening a partnership automotive repair service facility with Ron Shaw, Dale and Ron's Roblin Auto Service. Dale was a loving husband and father. He was fun, caring, encouraging, nice and truthful, who always made you laugh. He was an honest, awesome mechanic, passionate about his hobbies and family, willing to give a helping hand to anyone who asked or needed his help. Dale loved snowmobiling and surrounded himself with those friends who shared his love of snowmobiling. His other love was golf, he would golf year round, even participating in a virtual golf league, and he loved it so much he would golf everywhere! We wouldn't be explaining Dale if we didn't mention his love of NASCAR racing. Dale's funeral service will be held on Friday, December 19 at 1:00 p.m. in Westwood Community Church, 401 Westwood Drive. Interment will follow in Chapel Lawn Cemetery, 4000 Portage Avenue.
