The love Dale had for his wife will never be forgotten. He was such a sweet man. I am grateful I had the opportunity to know him. He was so kind.
I had been out of town for 3 weeks and had no idea he had passed away. I met Dale at AARP Safe Drivers course and he drafted me as an instructor. I always enjoyed seeing him or talking to him on the phone. I will sure miss our talks. He was a sweetheart.
So sorry to hear of Dale’s passing. We met Dale thru AARP safe driving, St Peters, MFECOA, American Legion.
Definitely will be missed
I have been Dales next door neighbor since April where My family and I moved here from SLC. Ever since we arrived he was the kindest person and has made us feel so welcome. We always looked forward to seeing his garage door open and him sitting in there watching TV. Since he has been gone it has not been the same. We will miss you greatly Dale. Thank you for being such a great neighbor and Friend!
