Not sure what to say?

I have hiked in the Berkshires with Dale and friends for many years. While I could have related as a peer, I chose a father-son relationship. I found his passion for the outdoors so attractive. Each Thanksgiving I will salute him with joy. Alfred Mahan

Mr. Hackett was our neighbor for many years on Whitman Avenue. He was always friendly and seemingly led a simple and fulfilling life. So many fond memories of our conversations and his friendship. Margy and Tom Clark and family

I hiked with Dale many years through AYH - from 1982 when I joined until into the 2000's. He was always a wonderful guy, so friendly and kind. I remembered he used to hike many miles with his sneakers - no hiking boots!! It is sad he couldn't be with us forever, but I did visit him at his retirement place, when he left the house in W. Hartford center. Anyway, I will be at his memorial service on Thursday Dec. 14 at the U.U. Church in Hartford.

My deepest sympathy for your loss Marilyn and Neal (and family). I always enjoyed speaking with Mr Hackett about hiking during our visits. Dr Thramann

Who knew? I´ve known Dale for many years and valued his friendship and companionship on countless days of hiking, skiing and other outdoor stuff but I never knew of his professional accomplishments. He was always a valuable addition to many of our trips.
