Thanks Larry, for thinking about Dale and having this bio printed. I remember talking with Dale and his excitement about the up coming reunion. As with others, we lost track of each other and life's episodes. Dale was part of my life starting in the 2nd grade at St. John's School.  Many good times we had! He did well in his accomplishments, may he rest in peace. Jim Shuck

I went to grammar school and part of High School with Dale and he was one of the nicest, most down to earth people.  So sad to see that he was gone too young but proud for his family of his many accomplishments.  Thanks for posting, Larry!
