Nettie, our family went to church with your family at Twin Lakes Baptist. I remember Dale so much. Jerry was from Calico Rock so he knew all the Bagwells from there. I only knew a few. I'm so sorry about Dale but he was a very good man.
I only knew of Dale through family members but am sorry to hear of his passing. My parents were John and Nell Angel of Yellville, AR. Fern and Vin Tipton were my aunt and uncle. I know Dale was a good man. My prayers to all the family.

It has been a long time, but I worked with Dale at Homestead Realty - he was a kind soul, and I loved him dearly as a friend. You have crossed my mind many times in the years past - God speed - I am sure we will meet again, dear friend. May the memories you shared comfort your family in the days to come.
Enjoyed spending a lot of time with Dale over the past 7 months that he spent in hospice. First in Jonesboro and then in Mountain Home. Talked a lot about our favorite sport, football. The Red Wolves and the Hogs, the marines and many other topics. Always enjoyed a peanut butter milkshake and some prayer time. Praying for you Nettie, Steve and family. Am comforted to know he is a believer. John 3:16

I’m so sorry to hear of Dale’s passing. I always enjoyed visiting with him and he was such a good friend to the Jones family. Dale was great help after my dad passed away. Thoughts and prayers for all of you.

Dale and I go back to first grade and earlier. Over the years there were lapses in our association as we raised a family and made ends meet. After retirement we reconnected and Helen and Nettie became friends. Dale and I spoke over the telephone at least once a week and we could easily drop into 7th grade humor. Always fun. I will miss him for a long time. RIP and Semper Fi !! old friend. My heart goes out to Nettie and Steve and other family members.
Nettie, quite sad to hear Dale passed away. We were good friends all through school. Sorry we lost contact with each other when we moved away in 1957. I did Know he was in the Marines I just want you know I am thinking about You. Carl

Dale was such a sweet sweet man. I had the honor of caring for him as one of my patients at Hospice House. He touched my heart and will be dearly missed. My prayers and condolences to the Tipton family.
I cherish the times we spent singing hymnals and Johnny Cash songs.
My Papa had such a unique voice, it always made me smile.
Steve I know hard this is but he was a very good man. He loved you and the family. God bless you all.
We always enjoyed stopping by anytime we were even close and visiting with my Aunt and Uncle. Dale & Nettie always took extra time to make us feel welcome and was especially proud to drive us around their beautiful town. We will miss Dale a lot.........
Love, David & Pati
