I love Dr Dale. My mom was treated by him when she had lung cancer and he was incredible. Loving, compassionate and supportive. I would call with questions and he always was there. She loved him so and then when they found spots on my lungs he accepted me as a patient even though he was retiring soon. My mom loved the lamp on his desk and always teased him and said she would come steal it.lol He was one of the good guys.
He was such a loving man.

Dr Dale...I was employed at your private practice for 38 years being hired shortly after you were. You were one of the most caring people I have ever worked for. We had this joke between us , you called me Mrs Jamieson because I could not bring myself to call you Bob, the way I was raised I guess. You will be greatly missed. Mrs Geri Jamieson

Dr. Dale was so nice to my husband & myself.
We adored him and his sweet ways. He treated me with such compassion in my worse days and helped me so much, we were lost when he left his practice. We wish you and your family our condolences.

Thank you, Bob, for your kindness and support that began 15 years ago as we met. Since then, we've celebrated a wedding and two grandsons together. Our thoughts, love, and prayers go to your wonderful family.

I am so sorry for your loss. My mom, who passed 5 years ago, had lung cancer and was under Dr Dale's care. He was compassionate, understanding and truly had a heart; my mom knew how much he cared about her. We would come in his office and she Would comment about the light on his desk and how pretty it was and always told him that she was going to s eat it.lol Mom would then ask where he was traveling to next with his wife. Dr Dale would share things about his trip and always was looking forward to the next one. When mom passed I had a lung issue and asked to be treated by him. The secretary said he was not taking new patients but I called him directly and he saw me the next day.
A great funny, compassionate and caring man will be missed.. He spoke of his wife and kids and was always proud. Rest In Peace "doc"
