Dale Redmond Mayo II

Gerda,

I sat with Dale and we talked on the 4th in 2008 for a couple of hours about everything which is what we always did. He was so engaged and interested in everything going on. So Sorry for your loss.

My cousin Dale. Kind - always kind. Always a gentleman - a gentle man.
When he was little, he and my brother, Harry, and Alex Schubert played across the three connecting back yards. They dug a swimming pool - almost. They built an airplane out of 2X4's that almost flew. They loved cars and engines, anything mechanical. In college, Dale had so many friends and was always doing fun things. He fell so in love with Gerda Ladd, and was so proud of his baby girls. Claire and Rose, you both...

Dear Gerda, Claire and Rose,

My heart goes out to you during this difficult time. Gerda, I am so glad that you enjoyed such a Godly marriage; what a blessing and fine example to your family and the community. Please know that you and the girls are being lifted up in my prayers constantly.

Love,
June Showfety

I had the pleasure of meeting Dale in 1971 and he has been was a great friend and fraterity brother ever since. His big smile and tailgate enthusiasm will be missed by many! He's one of the few Pike Brothers that actually made the effort to keep up with so many of us that were scattered all over the country. He was the driving force to keep so many of us coming back to Knoxville for just one more tailgate. All his family and friends are in my prayers.

Gerta,

I am so sorry about the loss of your husband. I know you had an wonderful marriage and family life. God was clearly the focus of your life. I am praying for you.

Dear Gerda and Dan, my thoughts are especially with you and your wonderful family at this time of great loss, because I do know what you are going through, having personally experienced the deep loss of my husband and more recently of my son Allen.
Both left holes in my heart with love I'll never forget.

Dale and Allen were friends from birth, 3 months apart, just as Dan and Laurance were lifetime friends, as were their parents. Dale was born with a shock of black hair; ...

For the entire Mayo family, I was so saddened to learn of Dale's death. I knew him through my father L.A.Dick who worked at Mayo's for many years and thought so much of Dale. At my father's death Dale wrote the kindest letter to our family and we will always remember it. My mother is Maxine Dick and brother Al who also share in your sadness. Please extend our sympathies to Mr. Dan also. God's love and care be with you and surround you at this sad time. Sincerely, Janie Dick Pearson

Gerda,
Although it's been many years since our times at Pawley's, it seems like yesterday upon reflection.... Didn't we have fun enjoying each other? Dale was a special man. Jovial,fun-loving,yet dedicated to his God. He lived his faith! Heaven is a sweeter place w/ his presence.Praise God for the opportunity to know Dale. You and the girls are in my thoughts and prayers.
W/ the love of Jesus!
