Dale was a kind, caring and gentle soul. He was very devoted to his family and would have given the shirt off his back to help others and was loved by many. He was an avid golfer, driving back and forth to the Edgerton Country Club in his golf cart from his home.
Dale is survived by his loving wife Kathie Saunders, his daughter Crystal (Brian) Beyer of Milton; grandchildren Zach and Kenzie, siblings Wyn Saunders, Herbie Saunders (Karen), Dave Saunders (Sue).
