I was lucky enough to work with Dale for more than 10 years and he was a wonderful person to be around. I will always remember how he went out of his way to make people smile and laugh. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family.

I'm Bobbie's youngest brother. We have never officially met, but I know that we have a God who lets nothing slip by Him. God knows about Delbert and God always had a plan. Now is the time to totally trust in Him for all the comfort that is needed. He is the Great I AM. He is your comfort in times like these.

God bless you and your family.

Love -Willie Ray-

Dale, you were a great friend. Loyal, funny, happy, thoughtful, selfless, kind, forgiving and charming. You made work fun, and play even more fun... you will be missed by all, but forgotten by none.

The Bryant family wishes to express our deepest sympathy to the family. The Mackerls are my second family and Delbert was like another little brother to me. As I would say for my family members who've passed including my mother and grandparents, they have all gone to a better place and will forever until my time ends look over me and my family. May God bless you all

I had the opportunity to work with Dale at PLATO and feel like it was a real blessing. He would go out of his way to help and he always had a smile, it is his laugh that I remember most. I'm sorry that he left so soon, I hope that wonderful memories will carry his family through this difficult time. God bless you all.

I remembered when I first started working at PLATO, he gave me the hardest time. He kept on saying, tomorrow was his last day at work and when I show up at work.. Guess who was there, Dale.

Dale liked to play tricks with my mind because he knew I would fall for most of his tricks.

To me, Dale was like a big brother. Dale was their when I needed to talk or chat with, and most of all he made me laugh when I was down.

By his charm and kindess, I also knew he loved his family and grandchildren, they were very important to him. Dale made sure his family was happy and taken care of.

Dale will be missed by me and all of his friends. His laughter, his jokes, and who he is will never be forgotten.

God Bless him and his family.

Dale will be very missed. I worked with him off and on for around 15 years. He always made me smile and feel better whenever he was around. He helped me through a few of my rougher times in life. We had alot of fun and will be missed. I loved his laugh !!! My biggest wish is for his family to take care of themselves and wish you the best through this hard time. He was very special.

Delbert and I worked together for nine plus years. His daily greeting 'Good morning Kathy Rae' was a favorite part of my day. I missed him terribly after he left and miss him even more dearly now. It made my day when he'd call to catch up on things and I'm glad I had the opportunity to talk with him recently. The attached photo was taken at a company Christmas party. Tina, Although I'd met you only a few times, I feel I know you well as Delbert spoke of his family often. I came to know you and your family through him. I'll keep each of you in my prayers forever asking for your comfort, strength, and peace.
Love, Kathy Rae.
