Dale was a great sports fan and a great Father-in-law. I will miss his Navy stories.

Melanie and family:
Dale was and will always be a lifetime friend. He helped Mitch and I so much when we moved to Riverside in 1979. His boisterous laugh, great smile and love of life, will be missed so much. He was more than a friend, he was part of our family!

My Love goes out to you and the Family with the loss of Dale. He was a great Brother in Law and Uncle to us. He will be dearly missed but always remembered and remain within our hearts forever.

Was so sorry to hear about Dale. We at La Quinta will always remember as one of our very first coaches, with a great sense of humor, and a great dedication to our kids. He was always a Blackhawk at heart. I'm sure he'll be watching us play Arlington this Friday and we will be thinking of him as well. Our hearts and prayers are with him and his family. GO BLACKHAWKS, GO DALE!

So sorry for your loss. My husband, Bob Jones, considered Dale one of his dearest friends. Even though they had lost touch the last few years due to Bob's illness, he still mentioned Dale when reminiscing about La Quinta. I, too, lost Bob on Monday, 9/20.
Sincerely,
Joy Jones
