I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of Dale. I grew up knowing him as a member of first church of the brethren in Canton. I have fond memories of him at church and the carry in dinners. He loved music and God. May it bring you comfort to know that he has eternal life with Christ our Lord!

Dale was a kind, gentle, and musically talented man. He will be greatly missed. I will never forget one Sunday after church, Betty George was playing the piano, and Chuck George and Dale were singing. They had beautiful voices that harmonized so well together. I think they were singing "How Great Thou Art" Now they are together singing in God's choir with my Mom.
