From 1967 to 2007 he was the Owner and President of the Williams Truck Equipment Company, Inc. He was a gifted and “mechanically minded” man. He could fix almost anything without ever having worked on the particular type of thing before and often did to help friends and neighbors . . . and really just anyone who needed his help. He also loved to read about things he was interested in and the range of his interests were varied, from not only mechanical things but construction, travel, particularly reading from the scriptures of his faith and from items of the Masonic Lodge. Dale was “good company” because he was a good man. He was kind, generous and he loved his family, friends and people in general as well. There should be “more Dale Williams.” The world could benefit from knowing more people like him and he will be tremendously missed.
