I always enjoyed having a meal with Ace. Our crews always wanted to go to "Ace's" when maintaining power line right of way in Yadkin. He also served up some fine seafood on Friday nights! Ace and his father were interesting folks to talk to. I appreciate his memory!

I will miss Ace terribly. He was, without a doubt, the favorite of all my relatives. I always knew I was going to have a great time when I was around him, with many laughs, and a healthy dose of gossip to boot. Ace was deeply devoted to his many friends. I will always remember our trips to Walmart, where it seemed as though he knew all the shoppers by name. He would chat with all of them and, like me, you could tell his friends cherished their relationships with him. He was an excellent cook, and most of Yadkin County knew that. I worked right along side him in several of his restaurants and, no matter how chaotic, I still had a great time helping him out. I could never say no to him either, so I worked a bunch. In his memory I will eat a slice of coconut pie whenever I see it on the menu. Rest in peace my dear uncle.

Ace Dull was one of the finest people I knew. He was friendly. He was helpful with understanding his family history. I will miss talking with him at Ace's Restaurant in Yadkinville.
