As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. I only knew Dale professionally. He provided me assistance with engineering issues on a few of the houses that I built. He also was a great asset to the BIA of Central Ohio's Professional Standards Committee! You just knew he was a kind soul. I will miss working with him. My heart goes out to all the family and friends of Dale. May God bless you all and may God bless Dale.

In paradisum deducant te Angeli; in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres, et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Ierusalem. Chorus angelorum te suscipiat, et cum Lazaro quondam paupere æternam habeas requiem.

With our prayers and profound condolences.

Dale will be missed dearly. He was the epitome of calm, joy, peace, and strength. So many fond memories!! When I first met him, he was getting showered with lipstick kisses by a few ladies dressed in trench coaches. He didn't about the lipstick until he saw his roommate's face with the lipstick kisses. Then the light bulb went on, the expression on his face.. was priceless. Dale you can now enjoy the company of your little ones in heaven...
