I am so sorry to hear of Dale's passing. I had the distinct privilege and pleasure to work with Dale as our "fearless leader" from 1987-1992 at San Marcos Elementary. He was a remarkable, humorous man and such a professional to work for in the education field. He will be missed by so many of the lives he genuinely and personally touched including my own. May your many happy and heartfelt memories of Dale bring all of your family PEACE during this time.

I am sorry to hear of the passing of Dale. I met Dale when I was a teacher at Galveston School in the 1960s, and Dale would come to Galveston to teach PE classes. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time, and I wish you many happy memories of Dale! Sincerely, Kathleen (Brickner) Burley

I wish The Hancock family peace and the comfort of knowing that Dale was loved and respected by all who knew him. As a fellow BHS grad, I'll miss our shared history.
