Dale was my best friend throughout high school. Even then Dale was great with kids. He read stories to my girlfriend’s little sister and when that girlfriend became my wife and we had children of our own, he bounced them on his lap. I’m not sure who was more content during those times - Dale or our kids. It was no surprise that he became a great Dad.
Dale was a force to be reckoned with on the football field but a teddy bear off the field.
Dale’s family welcomed me as part of their own family in high school and also hired both my brother and I as drivers during the days when the uncles owned ABC Transfer.
Dale was a true friend to my wife Dawn and I. We loved him like a brother. We regret that we didn’t know of his illness as we would have given anything to have had one last hug, one more last visit and one last “I love you.” We treasure the memories of your friendship and warmth, your laughter, patience, and love.
