Dale is survived by his wife, three daughters, Julie Carpenter of Leoti, Kansas, Trish Brunswig of WaKeeney, Kansas, Kathy Graff of Neodesha, Kansas, seven grandchildren Cole and Bridgette Carpenter, Shala and Kevan Steele, Tyler and Cheyann McClayland, Lacey and Alex Detwiler, Cara and Josh Gunderson, Ty and Courtney Brunswig, Tia and Logan Mattheyer, and 15 great-grandchildren.

He is preceded in death by his parents, sister Katheryn Taylor,  brother Keith Appl, and son-in-law Charlie Carpenter.
