anything. Dale and Judy enjoyed going to square dances and the neighborhood card club for many years. They farmed together for over 58 years, and eventually settled on the family farm south of Fort Dodge. Dale also enjoyed flying remote control airplanes; building several of his own and became reputable enough to repair RC planes others had crash landed. He was inspired to get his Private Pilot's license and he became an accomplished pilot. This led to Dale buying and owing his own plane and have it stored in the hanger at his farm. The couple spent their winters first in Arizona and then Texas for over 20 years, where Dale enjoyed rounds of golf with his friends. Dale was a member of St. Paul Lutheran Church all his life, where he served his congregation by being a lay-minister and being on various boards. Dale's love for farming led him to his most recent hobby of restoring antique tractors and being a long-time member the Des Moines River Valley Antique Tractor and Engine Club. During this time, he had restored over 30 various antique tractors. He was also a drainage trustee for 37 years. But Dale's most important hobby was his family, and he was always there when you needed him, whether it was advice or a helping hand. Memorials may be left to family discretion of the family.
