Sadly, we have lost another cousin. I wish his family peace and love in these difficult times. I hadn't seen Dale in a long while but we had a great talk at Jane's a few years ago. I hope he is truly at peace now.

We had many good times together, me, you, Ray and that white Cougar. The car I bought in 2001 was because of your Cougar. I've often thought of you throughout the years and wished you well in my own way. I understand you have had pain in this life, I wish I could have made it disappear for you.
Im glad Paulette and the girls made your life complete. You will be missed by everyone that knew you. Maybe in another life we will see each other again.

It is with deep sadness that I write this. Dale was a favorite from the time I was six weeks old! I will always treasure the talks we use to have when I came home from college at the Monteray Hotel. Also many memories from before that. I will hold our kindred spirits in my heart forever.

Dale, what a remarkable person you were. You were loved by so very many people and left such an example of strength to 'beat the odds' and now your tired soul is rapped in the Love of the Lord never to have to fight this life on earth again. Wow!! Everyone one of us that knew you will always hold a piece of you in our hearts for our own personal reasons. Until we meet again, Punky and Paul

The last time I visited with Dale, I was so proud of him. Proud of all the courage he had to look honestly at himself and brave enough to take the necessary steps to become healthy.
I will never forget his impact on my life.
Dale you were loved and respected by me!
