I was very sorry to read that Dale passed on. I met him last year at Fairview where my Uncle Ed resides. They sat at the same table in the dining room. He was a gentle soul and even on his days that weren’t so good he always spoke to us. I know that my uncle will miss him. He always looked after Dale so I am sure that he will feel a void. Our sympathy to Dale’s family.

I worked with Dale in the 1980’s at Oldsmobile. We always thought it was something that my children, David, Matthew & Jamie, coincided with names of his children/grandchildren. He was a great manager and personal friend. My condolences to Dale’s family.
