Richard Eugene Dale passed away on November 18, 2021, in Bella Vista, Arkansas just one week short of his 84th birthday.

Richard spent his youth in Story City, Iowa and his adult life in Ames, Iowa where he owned an accounting and computer business. He was a founding and active member of Bella Vista Christian Fellowship. He will be remembered for his love of music, playing the saxophone, singing choral and barbershop music and an avid classic car collector. Throughout his life he had passion for building and creating everything from homes, cars, and bird feeders. His love of people and sense of humor will be missed by many.

Richard is survived by his wife Virginia; brothers David and Jim; his 3 sons Kevin, Bryan and Mark; many grandchildren and nieces and nephews.

Memorial contributions may be directed to the family and will be sent to the Make a Wish Foundation.
