I got to know Dale through his relationship and ardent commitment to Gould Academy in Bethel, Maine, from which his son Mike and future daughter-in-law Candace graduated in the mid-1980s. I so enjoyed being in his company at Gould and in his summer home on Lake Michigan. He was a man of principle, good humored and generous. My best wishes and belated condolences to Mike and Candace.

Dale was a life long friend. Although we spent very little time together the last 30 years we kept in contact. He was a dear friend. He was a very thoughtful and enjoyable friend. we are just a few years apart age wise. Wesley Hovey.
