    A really nice guy, helpful to everyone he meets, my Best Friend for 30 years, I miss him terribly, in the end I wasn’t good enough to save him. Rest in peace my friend.

      Tim I know how much Dale loved you, and how much he valued your friendship. He was one of the most unique and generous individuals I knew. Dale would always chart his own course , and it’s a tragedy that apparently he couldn’t see his way past his current difficulties… What a terrible loss for all of us who loved him. John

    Dale if you could have only known how much you were valued and loved. So many more memories to be made. So much more to teach the kids of those who loved you. I’ve been praying for a bad dream. But the reality of it all crashes down upon us all. We miss you friend. We love you. Rest in peace. ❤
