Dale was like a big brother to me. Always
such a mellow and friendly guy, who over the years was just an adopted member of our extended family. He loved playing music and was a great guitar player. He will be greatly missed at music functions and our family breakfasts and parties. Rest in peace my brother. Our condolences to Terry and the family.

Dale was the best cousin. Loved seeing him at all the family get togethers. When I was young in college he would pick up my sister and I for bbq and games on some weekends- we always had so much fun. I remember when he and Terri were married and how proud and happy he was of his family, and in recent years becoming a grandpa was just the best. Miss you Dale we all loved you so very much.

Dale was one of the friendliest, mellowest guys I've ever known. It's disheartening to know our paths won't cross again.

I am so sorry to hear of Dale's passing. My heart goes out to his wife and family. I have fond memories of watching Dale play the mandolin with friends. I haven't seen him in many years and wish we would have stayed in touch.

Heartbreaking loss for all friends and family! Dale was just the nicest guy! He was a Parchment 1970 grad classmate of mine and whenever we saw each other he had his great SMILE and enjoyed a good chat. Always enjoyed seeing him at Maple HIll Chrysler for years. So very sorry!
