Naples.Dale was born on September 6, 1929, to Arthur and Ruth Sargent in the Bonners Ferry Hospital.
He received his education at a school in Highland Flats and then graduated from Bonners Ferry High School in 1947. After graduation, Dale worked for his father, and then joined the Army, where he served from 1950 to 1953 in Oklahoma, Japan and Korea.
After returning to Naples, Dale worked for 20 years as a foreman and assistant manager of the Kokanee Cedar Sales Mill. Later, he worked as a cedar fence broker for 10 years before retiring in the early 1990s. He continued to manage his farm, removing dead and down timber.
Throughout his life, Dale love hunting, especially elk in the Lochsa area west of Missoula, Montana. He started the Elk Unlimited Chapter for Boundary County and the annual big horn show.
He had a great love of the land and nature. His land was placed in a conservation easement so the land could provide wildlife habitat and timber growing without development.
Survivors include a nephew, David Stern, Otis Orchards, Washington; niece Lorrie Sherod, Spokane; four grand-nieces and three grand-nephews.
