Dale was always a great man to work with. He was kind of quiet though,, but when he had something to say he would say it :),, and we all would get a chuckle out of it at times. We worked together at st lukes hospital in the environmental service dept. He will be dearly missed. RIP Dale
Dale was one of the finest managers I could work for – going back to Ponderosa and Shoney’s years. He was a good man and kind soul. Thanks for letting me cut out early so I could be a radio star, Dale.
love to all his friends and family –
