Dale closed the last chapter of his life peacefully at home with his wife and son by his side on November 4, 2017, at 12:35 pm. Dale was born in Fremont, Nebraska, on August 10, 1940. His family settled in Pensacola Florida, where he cherished fond memories of the beach, fishing and good friends. Following graduation from Pensacola High School, he served in the USAF and was stationed in Istanbul, Turkey. He went on to receive degrees from Florida State, where he also played baseball, before moving to Baton Rouge to pursue a post graduate degree at LSU. He served in various capacities including Dean Of Students at Louisiana State School for the Deaf. Following this he worked in investments and sales. Dale enriched our lives with his quick wit and sharp sense of humor. He was an avid reader, creative writer and a huge Tiger fan. Survived by his wife Janet Blanchard McMahan; son, Christopher; sister, Vicki Williams (Phil) of Tallahassee and special cousin Sherry Eary of Fremont, NE. and his feline companion, Beau. Preceded in death by his parents, Paul Emmanuel and Leona Kortum McMahan; and a brother, Jimmy McMahan. Special thanks to Dr. Glen J. Schwartzberg for years of care. We would also like to thank Rabenhorst Funeral Home for their compassion during this difficult time. Private services will be held at a later date.
