I have not seen Dale for 16 years; however, I do remember him well. He was one of the most pleasant and likeable people at Lincoln Laser. I could always count on Dale for a great smile and wonderful conversation. I am so sorry he is gone, and I wish to express all my prayers and love to his loving family. Sincerely, Joan A.Tate

Dale was loved by everyone he worked with and ALWAYS greeted us all with his unforgettable and priceless smile. He was a man of great character and integrity. Oh, and I can't leave out dependable, you could always count on him, his word was as good as gold. Dale will be missed terribly by many for sure, especially his colleagues and coworkers. Many of us have become close personal friends over the past 38 years. His departure from this earth has come way to soon and he has left an indelible impression on our hearts and our company. He was one of kind and can never be replaced. Dale is gone from us now but will never be forgotten and will live on in our hearts forever.

Ric and Vickie, after reading your brother's obituary, it is apparent he was an exceptional man. You must be so proud of him and suffering the loss of such a special person. We love you and are praying for God's grace and comfort to surround the entire family.

I had the honor of watching Elizabeth the first of her 5 years and later...summer vacation...which led to frequent visits from you. You always walked in the door with a smile and something to make me laugh with those twinkles in your eyes...wow, what a way to start or end the day. More than not you would call Donna while walking out the door, then ending your call to her and say "I love you". You were and are a beautiful spirit. You, Donna and Elizabeth continued to make me part of your lives. My heart goes out to Donna, Elizabeth, Reed, Angel and all your Grandchildren. All of us who knew you are truly blessed.

Such a short time that it seems that we talked as friends. Now so quickly God needed you for some special reason you leave. I will never forget the laughs and talks we shared. Thank you for being my friend at work.
