On May 9, 1964 Dale married the love of his life, Elizabeth Ann Kinnander in Armstrong, IA. The couple was blessed with two children, Scott and Stacy. Making a difference in the lives of students brought Dale great pride and joy. For many years he worked as an Industrial Arts teacher, and thoroughly enjoyed coaching football, basketball and track over the years until his retirement in 2006. Dale and Liz were longtime members of Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Manly, Associate members of the Community Church in Arizona and St. Timmothy’s Lutheran Church in Hudson. He was a longtime member of the Jaycees. Dale found peace in the outdoors, whether he was golfing, playing tennis or a good game of softball. He and Liz wintered many years in Arizona where they made numerous friends and enjoyed outings to sporting events and cards. He had a voice that he enjoyed sharing with others through song at church. Dale enjoyed time spent woodworking and creating furniture pieces with his own hands. But, most of all, Dale loved his family. His greatest joy was becoming a grandfather and being able to be an active part of their lives. He was constantly in the stands or on the sidelines of their events, he was truly their biggest fan. Those left to cherish his memory are his children, Scott (Stephanie) Lindell of Centennial, CO and Stacy (Robert) Anthony of Center Point, IA; grandchildren, Adam, Justin, Rachel, and Heather Lindell and Abigail (Richard) Anthony-Cornelison; a brother, David Lindell; as well as numerous extended family members and friends.
