Dale grew up in the Richland area, was married and raised a large family. He was a coatings specialist working -all over-the country and in Panama. He liked to paint bridges and was comfortable being 200-300 feet in the air. His most recent endeavor was working for FD Thomas of Medford, Oregon. He was also a proud member of Painters Union Local 427.

Dale was preceded in death by his father Dale Samuel Maurer Sr.

Dale was a kind and loving and giving, son, husband, brother, father, uncle and grandfather. Family was important to him and he was important to family. He loved music, motorcycles and people. He never knew a stranger and helped many on their road in life. He will be missed but not forgotten.

Dale, your music will never die and your memories live on in each of us. We love you.

Lori and family would like to especially thank Dan Thomas and Dale's union brothers and sisters for their generosity, caring and love.
