He was a member and director of the Corsicana Apartment Association for more than 20 years. Among his family and friends Dale was well known for his “war” stories and favorite quotes. He would say “give the world the best you have and the best will come back to you.” Also, “you have to make your own luck.” He firmly believed that anyone could succeed if he or she worked hard enough and “played the game”.
