Ren'e, Veronica and I will keep you in our thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time for you. Dale was so fortunate to have you in his life, especially during his illness. The sacrifices that you have made over the years for Dale, and the compassion and care you provided the last several months were amazing. The strength you have shown has also been amazing. Your work here is done, spend some time on yourself and allow your broken heart to mend. Hopefully,knowing that Dale is no longer suffering as you have watched him suffer the past few months, and knowing that he is at peace, you too can find peace. Let us know if we can help you with anything.

We've known Dale for a lot of years and he always had a smile and a joke. He was so good natured and seemed to love life. He was a good friend and will be sadly missed. Sleep well buddy.

My wife Darcy was a friend of Dale for 25+ years and I've known him for the last 8 years. He always had the latest joke to tell and was friendly to everyone he met. He was the kind of guy you'd meet in a tavern and immediately want to buy him a drink. I'm sure Dale must've gotten angry SOMETIME, but I never saw it. He really was a pleasure to be around. Darcy said to say that we'll definitely be there to say goodbye to "Sweet Dale" and wish him well in his new gig in Heaven. He'd be a great Welcome Host there, to greet each new arrival with a joke and a drink. ;-)

Dale was like my borrowed big brother back in 1963, Tim and I were friends and Dale was a big brother to both of us. I remember Dale sitting up and watching Johnny Carson. From that Dale continually was funny and good natured, even to kids 5years younger. I missed him and Tim often. He has gone to join Tim who he missed so much. May he rest in peace.
