Dale was born January 27, 1933 to Gerald and Geneva Germain in Neosho, Missouri. Dale lived in Missouri for ten years. Then the family moved to Wilder, Idaho where he worked on the family farm.

After his service in the army, he and Ruth moved to Chubbuck, Idaho with their two small children. Dale sold farm equipment for various companies throughout his career. He spent many days on the highways traveling across southern Idaho to visit his clients. He retired in 1998.

Dale enjoyed fishing, camping in his 5th wheel, hunting and trips on his Harley with Ruth. They loved going to the Oregon coast as often as they could. He spent countless hours in his shop in the garage wood working, making amazing things with his skillsaw.

Dad had the best sense of humor, he was so fun to laugh and joke with, even in his last days he was a delight to be around. We will miss his amazing smile.
