Gerda,
I sat with Dale and we talked on the 4th in 2008 for a couple of hours about everything which is what we always did. He was so engaged and interested in everything going on. So Sorry for your loss.

My cousin Dale. Kind - always kind. Always a gentleman - a gentle man.
When he was little, he and my brother, Harry, and Alex Schubert played across the three connecting back yards. They dug a swimming pool - almost. They built an airplane out of 2X4's that almost flew. They loved cars and engines, anything mechanical. In college, Dale had so many friends and was always doing fun things. He fell so in love with Gerda Ladd, and was so proud of his baby girls. Claire and Rose, you both look so much like your Dad. It was wonderful to watch him grow in grace and dignity and marvel at his constant sweetness and thoughtfulness.
I will miss him so much.
Gerda, Claire and Rose, my love is with you. Eventually, we will dry our tears,
but Dale will always be with us all. I am so grateful that he was in my life.

Love,

I had the pleasure of meeting Dale in 1971 and he has been was a great friend and fraterity brother ever since. His big smile and tailgate enthusiasm will be missed by many! He's one of the few Pike Brothers that actually made the effort to keep up with so many of us that were scattered all over the country. He was the driving force to keep so many of us coming back to Knoxville for just one more tailgate. All his family and friends are in my prayers.

Dear Gerda and Dan, my thoughts are especially with you and your wonderful family at this time of great loss, because I do know what you are going through, having personally experienced the deep loss of my husband and more recently of my son Allen.
Both left holes in my heart with love I'll never forget.
Dale and Allen were friends from birth, 3 months apart, just as Dan and Laurance were lifetime friends, as were their parents. Dale was born with a shock of black hair; Allen, a redhead, was born with teeth and less hair. For Christmas Dan gave Laurance a toothbrush for his son; Laurance gave Dan a hairbrush. They all had a good sense of humor and fun together.
Greta, I attended your beautiful wedding to Dale in Clarksville and have loved you ever since. It was a treat for me to talk with Lovely Claire and Rose at the receptions. Also, I saw Sam and his two pretty daughters, Alice and Molly with Kathy. Lisa was personable and more beautiful than ever and chatted with my daughter Lynn, her childhood friend.! Your mother and I talked about your wedding weekend, which was fun for everyone. Dick and Jean Bowen drove me to Clarksville.
I was sorry to miss being with Dan, Claxton, and Josephine, who had to leave early.
You and Dale were an outstanding and handsome couple, meaning so much to your church, your family and friends,
and to the entire area, including Elkmont, where we spend many wonderful weekends together--even when we commuted from Lookout Mountain for ten years.
Please know that you have my deepest sympathy and always my love.

For the entire Mayo family, I was so saddened to learn of Dale's death. I knew him through my father L.A.Dick who worked at Mayo's for many years and thought so much of Dale. At my father's death Dale wrote the kindest letter to our family and we will always remember it. My mother is Maxine Dick and brother Al who also share in your sadness. Please extend our sympathies to Mr. Dan also. God's love and care be with you and surround you at this sad time. Sincerely, Janie Dick Pearson

Gerda,
Although it's been many years since our times at Pawley's, it seems like yesterday upon reflection.... Didn't we have fun enjoying each other? Dale was a special man. Jovial,fun-loving,yet dedicated to his God. He lived his faith! Heaven is a sweeter place w/ his presence.Praise God for the opportunity to know Dale. You and the girls are in my thoughts and prayers.
W/ the love of Jesus!

I am so very glad I was able to be at Dale's Celebration of Life this morning. What a fine and godly man he was! You and the girls are so very precious and loved by so many. Your steadfast faith is so very evident and will carry you through these difficult days ahead.

Gerda,Clair,Rose,
I was deeply saddened to hear of Dale's passing. Gerda you may not remember me but I was Dale's receptionist about the time the two of you were married. I was only 19 years old and Dale treated me as if I were his little sister. When my grandfather passed away Dale came and paid his respects. When I was having a difficult time he reminded me of God's love for me and told me to stay stong. I have never forgotten the kindness he showed to me. I ran into Dale a few years ago and he told me all about Claire and Rose; he was so very proud of the two of them. His love for Christ and the three of you touched me deeply. I will lift you up in my prayers and ask God to bless you in the days ahead.

I was saddened to hear of Dale's passing. He and I have been casual friends since our days together at Sequoyah Hills Elementary School, through Webb School and at UT. At UT Dale and I were fraternity brothers in Pi Kappa Alpha for four years. I always marveled at Dale's ability to fix just about any engine ever made. Dale was in charge of the old Pi Kappa Alpha fire truck during our time together. He always managed to keep it running during football season so that we could all jump on and ride up Cumberland Avenue yelling "Go big orange" on the way to Neyland Stadium. When the truck broke down he would somehow find the replacement parts from around the country to fix it. Dale and I were also in the Men's Cotillion. I recall the Annual Party one year when Dale showed up in a tuxedo and black basketball shoes to amuse everyone. Although I didn't see Dale often after I left Knoxville, I always welcomed his smile and his hello when I saw him a Sunday brunch at Cherokee Country Club. God bless you my friend. In the spirit of phi phi KA, you will be missed

Dear Gerda, Claire and Rose,
There are no words that can express our sympathy to you. May you feel God's love as He carries you through this. I will always remember Dale praying over Claire before every basketball game. What a legacy and an awesome example for all of us to follow. He truly knew it wasn't about winning or losing but how we play the game and remembering the ONE we are playing for.
Praying for each of you.

Gerda, Marie and I are grieving with you. Dale really was a Gentleman,in every sense of the word, fun and engaging. He always seemed interested in listening to what one had to say in conversation and not just pretending to, Of course he always had a come back or comment, and usually a very entertaining one. I will remember him fondly and I am glad I had the priviledge of knowing him (and you too). I am sorry we have not spent more time together over the last few years, but we will try to do better. You and your daughters are in our prayers and I do hope you find comfort in knowing that you will see Dale again. God Bless you.

This is indeed a shock and sad occasion. I was a cousin of Dale's, used to see him every Xmas at the Country Club, but had not seen him for many years after moving out of state. Then I was fortunate to see him when he showed up unexpectedly at my mom's funeral about 3 months ago. Reminded me a lot of his dad. I was impressed with his kindness and concern.
With deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Words fail me.

I know God will comfort you in the coming months as you walk this journey. Dale was a wonderful husband, father, leader, and most of all, "Man of God". He was such an inspiration to Steve and I. Amanda commented to me that every time Dale drove by her on Westland Drive he would wave and honk the horn. He made her feel special.
What a wonderful testimony he has left behind.
"Well done, good and faithful servant."

Dear Gerda, Claire and Rose,
Our hearts go out to you during this time. Dale was a "good neighbor" in every sense of the word and was always doing what he could for those around him. I will miss chatting with him on my way to a walk and waving to him as he drove by, no doubt taking the girls to one event or another. He was a genuine, caring and kind man, and his loss will be felt by all. We will never forget Dale Mayo and the example he set for others on how to be a good man, husband, father and Christian brother.
Much love -

What great man Dale Mayo was ! I have known Dale for about 46 years as a close friend and I know that he left this world much better than he
found it . Dale and I shared many conversations about our faith .
Through those times I came to realize just how much he loved his LORD .
I will miss Dale greatly in the coming years ,but GOD will comfort
me because I know that he is with his Savior !!!!!! I can't be there
for the funeral because I'm out of town but my heart ,love and most
of all prayers are with the family .
With much love from a dear friend ,
