Uncle Dale, you lived a wonderful life and you created wondeful memories for all of us to hold onto until we see you again. You always had a way of making people smile. You were often found joking and teasing us....even as we got older. I loved that about you! You were loved by many and will be missed by many....me included. You were such an incredible man; generous and kind with a great big heart. You never saw a stranger. I loved that about you too! I loved many things about you. Most of all, I loved that you were my Uncle. I will miss you dearly, I love you sooo much! See you again soon! PS, will you tell my Dad I said Hi and that I love him too? He always looked up to you as his older brother, I know that he is happy that you two are together again. :O)
