Dale

Dale had planned to spend his retirement traveling the country with his beloved wife Irma in their RV, but she died from cancer before their dream came to pass. His age, calm experience and RV provide the nucleus around which the community of survivors forms. He is wise, sometimes profound and is the respected elder of the group – acting as a father figure to Glenn especially, whom he counsels on everything from car maintenance to girls. Dale and Andrea form a close bond as well. When Amy is killed during a walker attack on the camp, Dale sits vigil with Andrea, telling her that since his wife's death, "you girls were the first people that I cared anything for." Their relationship is tested, however, when Dale prevents Andrea from committing suicide by staying in a self-destructing building. Though he believes he saved her life, she claims he took her choice away. Later, he apologizes, saying, “The choices I made for you were not my choices to make.” As the group’s moral center, Dale finds himself at odds with everyone in arguing to spare the life of a young prisoner, Randall. Although Andrea eventually sides with Dale on the issue, he’s so devastated at everyone’s lack of humanity that he declares, “This group is broken.” That night, while walking through the fields, Dale is gored by a walker.
