There wasn't a man more happy to see my family at all of our family gatherings. He always had something funny to share with us and so genuinely interested in what all of us were doing with our lives. He was a cool guy and on behalf of my entire family, he will be greatly missed! We all loved Dale and he was a very special guy to all of us.

Speaking as his older brother and unpaid baby sitter, Dale was a great little brother growing up. As a young man, he had a very adventuresome spirit that he carried over throughout his whole life. I was always glad to see him and talk to him.

My sorrow is nothing compared to the sorrow his immediate family and others close to him have. My condolences to all of them. He will remain alive to me and to others in all of our hearts.
