Not sure what to say?

May your hearts be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. Our sincere sympathies.

Dale was a compassionate, talented, and genuinely kind man. I was fortunate enough to have worked with Dale as both a client and a colleague (at the agency where he was an outstanding art director) and I always admired Dale for his humility, authenticity, and fairness. He was a special person with special gifts. I am one of the lucky ones who benefitted from having known him.

A few days ago my mother asked about Dale and Ginny. A Google search revealed the sad news of his passing. Dale was one of my dad’s favorite customers and he and Ginny became good friends of my parents. Their friendship was treasured by our family. When I walk through my house, I am reminded of that friendship and Dale’s talent because I the several paintings I have of his. I’m sending condolences from Monie Kerrigan, Pat Opsincs and me.

I enjoyed a great working career with Dale for many years and counted on his counsel often. As has been noted by others, his talent as a watercolor artist brought out the subtle natural beauty of the many landscapes he painted. One of those paintings, a treasured wedding gift from him and Ginny, hangs in our living room. Now, it will serve as an even more poignant reminder of his talent, friendship, and the memories they hold for us. We grieve with the Harsh family and send our deepest...

Ann and I have many fond memories playing bridge with Dale and Ginny. Their participation in weekly Cypress Landing bridge games were very enjoyable.

Dale was a good friend and an excellent bridge partner. Sara and I send our prayer support and condolences.

Dale had a kind soul, a great sense of humor, and a sharp mind when it came to playing bridge. His friends in Cypress Landing will remember him for many years to come.

I will NEVER forget Uncle Dale!!! My mind is filled with memories!!!! My home is filled with Uncle Dale’s beautiful paintings!!!!❤

The last of a generation of Harsh's...going out in style. Great guy, filled with talent and positive energy. We will miss him. God Bless. Bill and Laura Harsh
