Dale will be remembered as a devoted husband & best friend, loving dad, son, brother, uncle, and friend. Dale was known to always have a smile on his face and a kind and open heart. Dale worked in the restaurant and hospitality industry all his life. His fascination and love for the artistic side of the culinary arts is what motivated him. He worked his way up the ladder from a line level cook to an executive chef. He took pride in everything he did from his Ice Sculpting and garnishee work to every plate that was served under his supervision. His hobbies included traveling, photography, knife making, music, and riding motorcycles. Dale battled with cancer for almost 2 years. His family is grateful that he can now rest at peace alongside his wife.
There will be a Celebration of Life held in his honor details provided privately.

I have known Dale for almost 25 years. He was a mentor to me as well as friend. I am sad, but also happy he will be with Sarah once again. He will be sorely missed. RIP Chef Dale. Your friend, Vickie Fuller
Dale was a friend of mine from East Junior HS. He befriended me when I was new to Alton. His friendship was precious to me at the time. I am deeply saddened of his passing. I pray that his last days were spent with friends and family. God bless you Dale.
