I will forever miss "Unkie Dale." He was a wonderful friend and neighbor. I will keep the memories of the great times on Spruce Street forever in my heart. The Schnecksville community has lost a classy guy. He will be greatly missed. God bless Leona, Tim, Scott and their families. Rest in peace my friend.

Dale has done our taxes since my husband and I were married. He has seen us through buying a house and having three children. We are so sorry to hear of his passing. I hope it brings you and your family some comfort to know he is now with God.

Many fond memories of sitting in the barber chair, chatting about family or the weather. He had a glass jar you could pick lottery tickets from to rub off while getting a haircut.
My sympathy to the family and friends.

Dale was a loving husband, a wonderful father, father in law, grandfather, and great grandfather. His biggest pride was his family. He was loved deeply and althought he will be missed very much, he will live on in our hearts forever!

My late father, Harlan, was a long-time customer of Baer's Barber Shop, and I have many fond memories over the years of having Dale and his dad cut my hair. My mother thinks it was probably the place I had my first haricut! I'll never forget when Dale opened his drawer (IF I sat still) to reveal a treasure trove of lollipops! What nice memories of Dale I still have, even now as a parent of young children myself.
May the peace of the Risen Christ offer you comfort and hope in the days ahead.
