Not sure what to say?

Dale was our Porter's Representative for the past ten years. He always greeted us with a smile and a story about his family. We'll miss our conversations with Dale. It was obvious that he was dedicated to his job and his family. He will be greatly missed.

Always looked foward to Dale servicing our home. Dale is a good man, would do anything in the world for ya! God Bless Ya Dale, see ya on the other side buddy!

I am so sorry for your loss. Dale was such a special person. He served as my pest control service rep for about ten years. Dale was so kind, dependable, full of stories about his family and Alabama football. My dog Trixie and I will both miss him so much.

Dale was our Porter's or as we called him.. our BUG GUY for about 10 years.. he followed us to our first home and then to our second home.. WE loved visiting with him talking about our animals.. and sending him home with sugar free goodies from time to time..... Wishing his family and friends comfort in his blessed memory.

Dale was the sibling closest to me in age growing up, but I'm not sure that is the only reason he made the most memories! How many brothers pay you to let him practice throwing water balloons on Halloween, sneak you out of the house with the mumps to sit on his new motorcycle or teach you to drive your first stick shift? That was Dale. It was hard for him to fit all of that in too, because he was usually so busy trying to overprotect me from his worst fear...boys! Don't think that didn't...

I know this is a very hard time for
all of you. We just want you to know that we are thinking of you and
our prayers are with you. Whenever
I think of Dale I remember the times
we would talk about chocolate cake and General Hospital...He always made me laugh. Him and Benny loved to kid around..He will be truly missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you on this very sad time. Knowing Dale as part of our family we are going to miss him. He loved his wife and children and his daughter-in-law with all his heart. His grandchildren was his pride and joy. It really makes me sad that he will not see them grow into the great adults. Jake playing ball(any type of ball) and Samantha being the princess or cheerleader that she will be. He will be watching from heaven and what a blessing that is. R.D Tiff and...

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow. One thing I can say about Dale is there was never a dull moment around him. Dale had such a funny personality and was a joy to be around. Your family will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.

Dale was my Porter's rep for 8 years, I feel like he was a member of my family. He always asked about my children and we talked about his grandchildren, children and Alabama football. He was always a pleasure to be around. It always brought a smile to my face to hear him on the radio. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
