He graduated from Kiel High School in 1965. Dale was united in marriage to Bonnie Neese on April 27, 1968 at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church. At the age of 18 he started working at Kohler Co. and later owned and operated his own restaurant, Spindler’s Café, in Sheboygan. He also managed Cousins Subs in Sheboygan.
