Dale is survived by his wife and their beautiful cat Willow, a sister and nephew, Jane Mastin and Christopher Mastin of Texas. He was predeceased by his father and more recently his mother on December 4, 2018. Dale was a motorsports enthusiast. He enjoyed fast cars and the thrill and intricacy of the sport. In his younger years, his passion was restoring vintage muscle cars. Dale worked as an auto mechanic for more than 40 years, mostly at local car dealerships and for the last 21 years at Maine Military Authority.
