I got to know Dale through Brush & Roller. He always showed up with a smile and had a good story to share. I looked forward to seeing him every time he was working on my house. I made sure he had KFC and Mt. Dew for the job! He loved his KFC! Laura and I appreciated getting to know him and he will be truly missed.

Rest in Peace,
Ken

Dad, My heart is broken & no words will ever express the sorrow I feel. Thank you for setting an example and showing me what unconditional love looks and feels like. The husband you were to mom was a testament of the values you instilled in our family and I am so blessed to have a man by my side who shares those values. Your granddaughter will grow up knowing that she was the light of your life and you had so much passion to put your family first. I love you and will always hold you close in my heart. I live my life to make you proud. My faith in God gives me hope that you are our guardian angle looking down from heaven. I LOVE YOU BUDA!!!!

Dale did two jobs for us over the years and was just one of those people you felt at ease with immediately. The warm smile he always had was a beautiful testament to his beautiful soul. We will be praying for peace, comfort and love to surround all those he loved and cherished. Dale will be missed, but he'll be remembered both fondly and smiling...always!

Dale painted for me several times. He acted as if we knew each other forever! A very nice man indeed who loved to talk about his family.
My son waited on him at the paint store and considered him a friend. He often referred to Dale and Lori. He's a bit frightened to go back to work because it will be so sad. Everyone loved Dale.
