In 1952, Dale married Joan Brown. They had three children, Valorie, Vick, and Lisa. They later divorced.
Dale was a well known raccoon hunter and had the state champion Redbone hound. He trained and shoed many horses. He loved riding motorcycles and traveled the country on his Harley. He also enjoyed golf (getting a hole-in-one), and fishing. The family enjoyed many large fish fries.
