It is said we might have but a handful of true friends in our life. Surely, Dale, you were one of mine. The care and support you've offered so many children with disabilities in the adapted sports programs will also not soon be forgotten. A tireless volunteer, always at the ready to help no matter the task, your example speaks to everyone who ever wanted to leave the world a little better than when we arrived. You will truly be missed. Our most sincere sympathies to the family during this time on your loss.
