I had the honor to serve with Dale as a member of the Northwood Fire Department from 1985 until my retirement in 2009. Dale and I were on Station 1's social body's Executive Board, and the committee to build the new fire station on Tracy Road. He was a great officer, a mentor, a neighbor, and a friend. He will be dearly missed. My condolences to the Miekis family. Rest in Peace, Captain Miekis. We'll take it from here.
