  6. Elsie, Mark, Laura, Gary, and family. So sorry to hear about Dale’s passing. One of the most fun and nicest guys I ever met. He was so much fun to be around and one of the most active and hard working guys to have ever crossed my path. He was surely one of a kind. He surely had a way of never knowing a stranger. Prayers to the entire family. Due to health I can’t make the service, but know that Cathy and I will keep you in our prayers. Rick and Cathy Reed

  7. I was sad to learn of your loss. It has been decades since we lived on the same street, and your boys and my boy were friends, but I still rmember your family. I think of Dale as usually having a smile on his face. He was a good man. I can not attend because of my health, but my prayers and my son Leslie’s are with you.
    Love to you,

  8. I have not seen uncle Dale in a long time but the memories I have of him have never been forgotten. Him taking me fishing, going to car shows, letting me watch while he worked on cars, playing horse shoes and so many more things I could list. He was one of the nicest guys you could hope to meet. He will be greatly missed.
    Love
    Ben Pangburn
