Deepest sympathy to the family of Dale. I was Dale's classmate at Frazeysburg High School. Also,during our senior year at FHS, he, as offensive center for our football team, and I, as quarterback, had NO fumbles during the center-quarterback exchange, thanks in large part to Dale. I remember Dale as a "nice guy", cordial, polite, a good student, and I don't recall ever hearing Dale saying anything bad about anyone. A friend.
