I Worked with Dale in the FNBC Trust Dept during the 1960s and 70s. Always enjoyed his humor and friendship. Very sorry to hear of his passing.

I went to school with Dale in Blue Island at Paul Revere and B.I.C.H.S. He was always very studious and such a nice guy. I know that his family will miss him.
