Dale was without a doubt the happiest, and most loyal classmate I ever had. His passing has touched me deeply and our reunion this summer will be anything but complete without him there to take that final Football Hike. He always played til the Whistle Blew and Heaven will be a kinder and more gentle place starting today. Love Ya Man dan rees
