Dale was born Feb. 11, 1961 on James Connally Air Force Base in Waco, the son of Robert George and Patsy (Teichelman) Olson. He moved 15 times with his family as his father served in the US Air Force. In 1974, the Olson’s settled in Robinson where he attended Robinson High School, Class of 1979. Dale was a member of St. Mark Lutheran Church in Waco.
Dale married Jennifer Snider in 1989. They have two children, Haley and Jared, whom he loved dearly. Dale worked at USDA National Resource Conservation Service since 1979. He had many passions that involved working with his hands, such as rebuilding a 1969 Mustang, with son, Jared and working at the Teichelman farm. Dale was a Jack of all trades, whose favorite saying was “built, not bought.”
