Dale T. Fabricius

In loving memory. We miss and love you!

This is the 3rd year anniversary of Dale's passing. You are still in our loving memories. Love, the Sobotka Family

Dale and I graduated in the same class of '77 from Skyline High School in Idaho Falls, ID. I last saw Dale at the 30-year class reunion. He really came into his own after high school and a very fine, confident, outgoing caring person had emerged from a such shy, quiet kid. He is very mush missed and our prayers go out to his family.

I saw in the latest ALPA magazine the notice of Dale's death. I was so sorry to hear that he passed away. I flew with Dale at Fedex for many years before I retired. He was such a gentle guy, friendly, a good pilot, and pleasure to be around. We flew the B727, so it was quite a few years ago. My thoughts go out to his family. His soul is now definitely in the sky. Elaine Buchanan Fedex (Ret)

"Fab" was the perfect callsign for Dale; he truly was a fabulous guy. I'm shocked and saddened beyond words to hear of his passing. We flew quite a lot together during our years as fellow Reservist Airmen in the 731st on the C-130s, and I always respected him as a person and an excellent pilot. He had a great sense of humor and was a joy to hang around with. Dale was a true pro and bro!

Gail, I am so very sorry and heartbroken about your (and our) loss of Dale, a truly wonderful...

I flew C-130's as an FE with Dale in the 731st Airlift Squadron, Peterson AFB CO. He was my aircraft commander. Gail worked our Operations Desk. I knew them both to be such caring and wonderful people. Many times I put my hand on his left shoulder asking for guidance, reassurance and to let him know of my unwavering support. He was one of the best, a natural pilot. My heart aches at your loss. The Fabricius family are in my thoughts and prayers.

The news of Dale's passing was a blow to the heart. As a neighbor behind us, Dale insisted we install a gate in our shared fence so we could visit often. He loved life and his sense of humor will be sorely missed.
Dale, you have clearance to land in Jesus' arms!
