My name is Ronny jones and I work for him 20years until he retired. We shared some great times, thing we accomplished together was awesome.
I will never forget how he taught me algebra in the lab and other responsibility as a man because I was a very young. Even today as a pastor of my church I often speak of him. I pray God will ease the pain of the lose of your father. He has already been missed by me.. GOD BLESS If you like for me to speak as a friend just send me a email and I will be so happy to do so.
Sincerely Ronny Jones

As a coworker with Dale for DuPont, I knew him as a fine gentleman and superb scientist. His keen insight was sought after by many of us when challenging research issues would arise, as they often did. I am ever thankful that our career paths crossed when they did.

Carol, Laurie and family....so sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. Though I knew him only a short time I can truly say he had a great dry wit and stayed engaged in worldly issues making for good conversation. I enjoyed our visits. I know he's glad to be reunited with your Mom again though I know he will miss Hey You. I pray for your healing as you cope with your Dad being gone.
Take Care,
Alicia Vogleson of NND from Bear, Delaware
