So sorry to hear the sad news about Dale. Since retiring I was happy to see him while visiting MacDonalds with Dad :), and had a wonderful conversation with him at the voting polls in Point Edward with mom this month. He was so full of energy and smiles. My thoughts are with you all. Kindest regards, Diane.

Wilson and I were so sorry to hear of Dale's passing. We know he graduated to heaven and is in the loving arms of Jesus. We only knew Dale for 6 years through Maple Grove. He was an absolute pleasure to be around ... we grew to love both Dale & Betty dearly and will certainly miss him.

Betty and Family...saddened to read about Dale. Worked with him for eight years and he was a Supervisor every department hopes to hire but not always successful. Dale was always calm, even in the face of crisis, with never a harsh word. For those of us who worked with him, I know I can say we all feel saddened with this news and he will be missed. Hope the memories of Dale ease your grief in the days ahead. Veronica Taylor

So very sorry to read of Dale's passing. I so recently saw him at the Paterson dinner where he kindly offered to get me coffee. As usual, he was thinking of others. My sincerest sympathy.

I had the pleasure of working with Dale while I trained in diagnostic imaging. Dale was a kind and considerate person-always having the patient's comfort in mind. He greeted everyone with a smile and a good morning when they arrived at the xray department and put them as ease. He was a thoughtful manager and ran our department with efficiency and kindness. You couldn't have asked for a nicer person to work for. He will be missed greatly. My deepest sympathy to you Betty and your family. Lynne Allen
