Dale returned to Michigan making his home in Cadillac, where he started his working years at Mercy Hospital Renal Center. He then went on to find employment with Walmart and moved into management for a number years before his health began to decline.
Dale was instrumental in the Dart Club and competitions that took place at the Roaring 20's. He could often be found running, competing, or just enjoying a game of darts with friends on the weekends.
