I live in the condo assoc. that Dale lived in. He was a good person and always said hello. I will miss him and his toothpick. Rest In Peace Dale.–Linda
I have so many fun memories of growing up with Leanne and Allison at Dale and Betty’s house. He always had a joke to tell and a smile. He was helpful as we grew up and moved off on our own. He even came to my house to help with some plumbing. I have only fond memories of him being a good dad. He will be deeply missed. My heart breaks for your loss. Love and prayers for you all. 💕
Leanne, Glen and I are so sorry for your loss, please let us know if there is anything you would like us to do. Condolences to your family as well.

Dale was my across the street neighbor at the condo association. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. My sympathies to the family. Dale always had a smile and words of wisdom to share, whenever. I miss those visits. When I remodeled my condo a few years back, Dale’s advice and knowledge was invaluable, and I greatly appreciated coming home to find Dale, cup of coffee in hand, toothpick In his mouth, and a smile on his face, keeping the contractors in line, making sure things were done “right”. I am sorry for your loss, I miss him too.
