Dale will be missed. He always asked about how our family was doing and wanted to catch up on the family news. We met you, Sherry first and then Dale around 1974 and I have worked with him since 1989 at Real Estate One. Quite a track record and many memories. Dale had a way to encourage me and others around him that was outstanding even through some down times. He was special to us and now he is with the Lord. Love to you and the family. Rita and John

Dale was a great man and i am very sorry to learn of his passing. As kids, Dale was an ever present figure as a leader and coach in every single sport we played. I will always be particularly grateful for the kindness he showed towards my mother during her time at Real Estate One. I pray for your family to receive strength and peace. Sincerely Yours, Rob Ward

I hope you all know how special Dale was to me. I was fortunate to meet Dale in 1998 when I started working in Lansing. I feel very special that he welcomed me into this world of Real Estate by working with me as a lender. He was always very honest and gave me great advice. He trusted me and really supported me here. I was blessed to meet your whole family throughout the years. I appreciate you all sharing him with me when this Real Estate world took and takes all directions. I will hold him in my prayers and heart along with you and your family.
