DALE O'NEAL Obituary

O'Neal, Dale September 2, 1930 - December 26, 2010 Dale passed away after a 14 month battle with brain cancer at his home in Westminster, where he has lived for the past 40 years. He kept his upbeat attitude, sharp witt, his will to fight, and never complained, even though his active and mobile life as he knew it was over. Dale is survived by his wife, Raelene of 53 years; 1 brother, 4 sisters, 3 sons, 11 grandchildren; to many extended family members to count; numerous friends; fellow District 46 Board Members; the MIB Organization; and countless other peoples lives he has touched in the Little League Baseball and Umpiring Community. Dale loved to travel and get out to a casino. If you had a party he would be one of the last to leave. He will be sorely missed by all. A memorial will be held 1/6 at 1:00 pm, Coastal Community Church, Fountain Valley.

You probably don't remember us, we were your neighbors on Glencove. We remember your father very well. He was a wonderful man and good father. We're saddened by your loss.

Something not too many people know. Dale was a Professional baseball pitcher at Seibu Lions in Japan.

He certainly helped developing today's Japanese Professional baseball. Thank you.

We have been neighbors with the O'Neals since 1981. He was very friendly, always working in his yard. He will be missed. Everyday when we leave home, we still expect to see him outside. Our prayers go out to the entire O'Neal family and their friends.The MacWillie Family.

It is with great sorrow we wish Dale goodbye. He was a wonderful Husband-Father, Grandfather and a great Father-in-law to our daughter LInda. We got to know, Dale, during family get to gethers and had the priviledge to learn his wonderful sense of humor and great teasing manner
Raelene, the love of his, life has shown such incredible strength through all these trying 16 months,she is defininatly the true meaning of deep and abiding love.
He will contiue to watch and coach Austin in his endevors to become a pro base ball player and I am sure "Austy" will have his own personl angel in heaven now,shouting and yelling for that homerun.

Dale, thank you for raising such a fine son as you have done with Curtis, he is walking in your footsteps as a husband to LInda, he is gentle,kind and loving, as you were,

Rest in peace fine fellow,

Lela and Richard

ps: If you get an 11 on black jack double down and put $50 for me
