Dale A. Brandreth

Dale was an impressive man with many likable qualities, but what I liked most about him was his down-to-earth nature and excellent sense of humor.

Dale was the quintessential absent-minded professor, off-the-charts smart but sometimes unaware of what was going on in his surroundings--at least with regard to things he didn't find interesting. Once not long after I met him, he invited me on a hike, and it was a challenging one--he didn't warn me about that, probably because he didn't...

My sincerest condolences to the Brandreth Family for the loss of your loved one, Dale, and pray you find comfort in Psalms 91:2.

Dale was an original! I met him hiking in 2011 and was amazed by his hiking ability then. Our last hikes together were in 2015, including a wonderful trip to the Adirondaks. Dale also organized trips to the theater and dinner; our eclectic groups always had great conversations and lots of laughs. Thanks for the memories, Dale, and happy trails.
