Born on October 28, 1923, in St. George, Kansas, Dale was one of nine children born to Paul and Pearl (Cooper) Day.

Many nieces and nephews also survive him
Honoring his request, cremation is planned. The family will receive friends from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m., Sunday, June 28, 2020 at Dove Cremations and Funerals, Southwest Chapel, 3700 SW Wanamaker Rd., Topeka.
