Dale was born on July 23, 1940 to Alois and Geraldine (Jahn) Barthel in Melrose, Minnesota. He grew up in Paynesville and graduated from Paynesville High School in 1958. After graduation, he briefly attended St. Cloud State University and later enlisted in the United States Navy where he honorably served his country aboard the U.S.S. Shelton and the U.S.S. Oklahoma City as a Yeoman. He was united in marriage to Donna M. Revier on April 15, 1961 at St. Louis Catholic Church in Paynesville. Together, they moved to St. Cloud where Dale was employed at Frigidaire for over 35 years as the Human Resource Manager. He was a member of Holy Spirit Catholic Church in St. Cloud.

Dale was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather who enjoyed spending time with his family. He also enjoyed reading, traveling, tinkering at his workbench, and watching John Wayne Westerns. Dale was a quiet and reserved man, but will also be remembered for his quick wit and dry sense of humor.
