    Mary Lou,
    Dale will be truly missed by all of us. He lived life to the fullest with dirty jokes and laughter! My fondest memories are when we all went golfing and he kept hitting the same tree over and over! He was such a special part of our families life. Our sincerest condolences to you Lou. Love – Justine, Bill, Christi and Erich
