Grandpa Dale was one of the greatest men I knew. Always smiling. I´ll miss his hugs and whisker kisses. When you asked him how he was he´d always say " any better and I´d be having triplets". I always giggled at that. He will always be missed and loved.

I hare to see that Dale has passed away. I hadn´t seen him in several years but always thought he was a good guy. I couldn´t tell you how many of my Little League games he umpired but I remember I always liked it when I saw he was going to be behind the plate. I pitched a lot back in those days and almost always agreed with the way he called games. Then in later years when I´d run into him he always remembered me and always had time to visit.
RIP Dale!
