I am so sorry to hear of Dale passing away. We had so many good times as kids. Although I have not seen Dale for quite some time, I will always cherish those times we had growing up. We really enjoyed collecting butterflies, moths, bugs, frogs, snakes, turtles and just about anything we could find. Thanks Dale for all those great memories.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
