I met Dale during a insurance claim. His attitude and wisdom were always positive. Anytime I went through Santa Fe we would have lunch and talk. His love for the arts was immense only to be outdone by his love for his children
I miss you Dale!

Dale was a mentor to me. I was in his classes when he taught graphic design in Fort Wayne back in the mid 70's. We kept in contact through ensuing the years, via letters, phone calls and Christmas cards. I had the privilege of catching up with Dale in person back in 2012 when my wife and I made the journey to Santa Fe. We had a great time reminiscing about the classes, the instructors, the students and our work. We then sat and looked over his vast artwork collection at his residence. What a prolific artist! He spoke fondly of his life, his family and his experiences. Dale you will be missed... not only by your family, your friends, your patrons but especially by me. I consider it one of my greatest privileges to call you my friend. My deepest sympathies to his family.

Dale was a good friend and one of the Great Teachers I've encountered. His indomitable will and desire to learn helped him overcome the obstacles of debilitating illness; to recover, manage, and thrive.
A man of great creative vision and artistic talent, who refused to remain in the style that had brought him popularity and recognition - he branched out and painted what he felt and experienced.
I am, and always will be, thankful to have known him.
Be at peace, my friend.

One of the finest artists I ever had the privilege of representing in my New Millennium Gallery, he always struggled with health issues but always had a kind word for a friend, and he had many friends who held him in the highest esteem.

Dale Amburn was a very special person. He was a pure and gifted man devoting his life to art. I painted with Dale for 28 years creating a bond that will be in my heart forever.
I made closure with Dale's death in my private moments and
prayer. Dale stated many times that he wanted no parties, formal
services, or public recognition after his death. His daughter, Debbie, is carrying out Dales wishes for the Amburn family with
dignity and exactness.
Dale May be gone, but every time I paint a picture Dale will still
have his hand on my shoulder.
