Roland Hall Dale Jr.

I had the honor of playing for Coach at SLU - Coach Dale was one of the finest men I ever met - Still over 30 years later I remember how Coach lived his faith in God so that a group of young football players could find that same comfort in the arms of the heavenly Father- And even learn a little football - Thank You Coach

A Hall of Famer in sports, in life.

I was a freshman at Gulfport High School in 1953 when Coach Dale was the head coach and athletic director and was so fortunate to have been influenced by him. He was the finest example of a role model for young men. He also taught me driver's training so I got to know him pretty well. I have great memories of him.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Please be comforted with knowing that the God of love knows your pain and that he has promised to do away with death soon, for He has promised.

Teenie, you have my heartfelt sympathy upon the loss of your husband.

Teenie, I enjoyed my association with Roland at USM. He was well liked and did a great job there.

My wife, Sarah, said she had just cross her mind in the last few days and said she needed to contact you.

We will keep you in our prayers.

Mrs. Dale,

Condolences to you and your family on the passing of Coach Dale. You may not remember , but my family and I lived next door to you and Coach Dale in an apartment house in Greenwood on Bell in the 1950s.
