Dear Dale, This is so very hard to write but you were such a great friend to me, someone I could count on if I needed anything. You were always there through Steve's surgeries and my bout with cancer, couldn't ask for a better friend you were and are my adopted brother. Will miss you but know you are resting in God's arms and out of pain, love you dear friend. Don't worry about your Lynn we will take good care of her, she is also a very special person and friend to us and sister to me. Thank You for being my friend!!

Dale was a wonderful fraternity brother of mine at WKU. As a pledge he made me feel at easy and I always enjoyed being with him. I was also fortunate to share some good times with him at Midland Trail. His passing was a shock and made my heart sink. I have lost a friend and a great Delta Sigma Pi brother. His family was blessed to have Dale in their lives. He will truly be missed by all who was lucky enough to know him. God Bless You.

Spent many an hour on the practice tee with Dale. We both had slipped out during the week for an hour of practice during a busy work week. A very positive person who never ever complained. Talked a great deal about his family and was always excited about playing on the weekend. With the loss of Dale practice won't seem quite as much fun for a while.
There may be a little more peace for your family eventually realizing what a happy life he seemed to have. I'm very sorry for your loss.
