As a teenager, Dale was often seen wheeling around on the streets of Beaverton in his wheelchair, socializing with friends and even calling bingo at the Legion.
He often made the annual trip to the Beaverton Fall Fair to greet old friends and reminisce.
In recent years, while living in Oshawa, Dale was able to attend and participate in many activities at the Abilities Centre in Whitby and enjoy a special celebration of his 50th birthday at the Centre in 2016.
Due to COVID19, there will be a private family memorial celebration in the near future.
If so desired, memorial donations in memory of Dale to the Hospital for Sick Children or the Abilities Centre.
