Dale H. Clingerman

The weather turned unusually clear and dry during Christmas week of 2011 and I was able to get to Falls Village Ct to the childhood home of his fiancée Lori for a couple days. It just so happened that we were all free to gather there for the Holiday for the first time since I could remember. I had not heard from Lori in a while and was surprised to hear she was engaged and was happy that she had found someone after all this time. On first impression one could be forgiven for mistaking Dale for a back woods guy but it turns out he was an electronics techy...my kind of guy. I took to this warm, soft spoken guy with ease. When I found out what happened I thought it was the cruelest thing I'd ever heard of? Looking back it seems almost as if he had brought that Christmas 2011 weather with him making the whole thing possible. Thanks Dale.

Just learned of Dale's passing tonight. He was one of my classmates from my NESCom Class of '86 (known back then as the New England School of Broadcasting). Dale was 12-13 years older than most of us other "NESBies," and a some of us nicknamed him "Dad." He was a very easygoing guy and a lot of fun. I hadn't seen him in many years, but he'll be missed. R.I.P. Dale, wherever you are...

So sorry to hear about Dale. He was great fun at WABI. Dianne Berry

So sorry to hear about Dale's passing. I haven't seen him in many many years, but he was my very first boyfriend, back when he used to ride in clothes dryers at the laundrymart and he gave me my first kiss at Hersey Retreat. Fond memories of a really nice person.

Joelle, Lora and Little Dale,
We're so sorry about your dad. Losing a parent is a hard thing to deal with. Hang onto the good memories. We're thinking of you and sending hugs.
Love, Aunt Angeli & Uncle Mark

Our very sincere sympathy to Dale's family. He will always be with you in your memories. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Ruth and Terry Campbell

We would like Dale's family to know what a special friend he was to our two dogs. They knew to expect biscuits when they saw him and Tobie, and they still look carefully whenever a vehicle slows down in our neighborhood hoping treats will come flying out of it. We will all remember Dale's kindness. Our sincere sympathies to all his loved ones.

We were neighbors of Dale's in Orono. Dale was a wonderful friend and neighbor. We've missed him and Tobey and we're so sorry to hear of his passing.

Joelle and Lora
I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. He was great fun and always had a fun story to tell when he picked you up from Afterschool or summer camp. Of course I always had the bike story, right Joelle?
You will both remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Dale and family my thoughts and prayers are with you

Dale, you are greatly missed. You was one of the best neighbors we had in Orono. You were always ready to help people.

My thoughts and prayers are with Dale's family at this difficult time. We knew each other in his WABI days when he would call my radio station on a daily basis. Nice man. And he raised a very special daughter who I'm thrilled to have as a part of my family. Rest in peace, Dale.

Dear Joelle & Lora~

Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad time.

Fondly,
Tim, Debbie, Carl, & Elizabeth White

God Bless you all! I used to work with Dale at WABI-TV and he was quite the character.
