There was a hike we did with Dale back in the 90's with the UUCA (unitarian church) singles group. It was at Unicoi state park and it started raining when we got to the parking lot and we started putting on our rain gear.  Someone had ripped their raincoat or something and he whipped out his roll of duct tape and made the necessary repairs.  He was known thereafter as "Duct Tape Dale".  He seemed to fix a lot that day with duct tape! Some of the other hikers that would fondly remember that day include Mary Lou, Donna and Elaine.  We miss you and hold you in our hearts, Duct Tape Dale. You were a kind and gentle soul.

Dale was a good friend for most of my life. I grieve with his brothers, son and others his life has touched.  I will never forget his wonderful sense of humor and attempts to be a vocalist. His "okie dokie" attitude was absolutely engaging and he will be so missed by many.

Dale was my brother and my friend ... so many wonderful memories, so many great times together. My heart is broken.

My heart goes out to all the family and friends of Dale. I didn't know Dale personally but I felt as if I did. I've worked with Dales brother, David for years. I've heard nothing but how caring, wonderful and positive he was.They were brothers and best of friends!  I know he will be truly missed.

I will dearly miss the sweetest brother-in-law anyone could ever have in their life.....will be thinking of you Allan & Cathy and David.  My love and thoughts are with you.

Our prayers and condolences are offered for all Dale's family and friends.  Our thanksgivings are lifted up for the life of this very special man.  We will miss him in MRC-GEM.

My heartfelt condolences to Dale's family,friends and loved ones.  Dale was a real sweetheart of a guy whose smile will be greatly missed.

So sorry to hear about Dale.... We worked together on many MRC exercises and were in the same CERT training class. He was someone you always wanted on your team. We will all miss his smile and his helping hands.

Dale used to live in our subdivision in Loganville.  He was a great neighbor and a friend and we used his professional skills as an electrician many times to work on our homes or our pool cabana.  We could always count on him to get the job done right the first time.  We are going to miss him and his warm pleasant personality.

Met Dale at several social events over the years.  He always had a great smile and a friendly personality.  He will be greatly missed.

So sad ... Dale was such a vibrant personality with such a kind soul.  Dale's wit, smile and willingness to help will be missed by people and volunteer organizations through the area. I met Dale in 2006 through the CERT program.  More recently, I worked with him both in MRC and as an electrician.  There really aren't words to express the feelings ... Our condolences to his family.

Dale had a great smile and was such a wonderful man. His Will Henry's family will always remember and miss our brother.

Dale was a sweet soul that always had a kind word and a smile for everyone.

Dale was a wonderful guy. He always had a smile on his face and greeted me, personally, with a hug. He will be missed.

Met Dale in Meetups..  he was a very friendly and caring guy.. will miss him, seeing his smile, sad to lose someone like him, My deepest sympathies to his family. May he rest in peace til we meet again  then we will party ..

Dale's goodness will shine brightly in heaven as it did here in earth. He was loved and admired by all who knew him. I will miss him terribly until we meet again.

Dale would spend hours sitting  by the fish ponds he built. He loved watching his fish.

Dale spent last Easter with my family along with his brother, my brother-in-law, Allen.  We always enjoyed his visits and will miss him at our gatherings. Rest in Peace Dale.

Dale and I were best friends during High School and graduated together from Keene High in Keene NH in 1969. We remained close friends for the next 43 years. Dale was a wonderful, generous, and giving person. A once in a life friend. My heart aches. I will miss you greatly.

Dale was a nice person i knew Dale through MRC & CERT 
May his soul rest in eternal peace and prayers goes to rest of the family

Dale has been the love of my life since we were 15 years old. He was as honest as the day is long.   Dale was Loving, compassionate and always considerate of others.   He would lend a helping hand when anyone asked for help without hesitation.  Dale loved life, his family and friends.
Rest in peace my beloved

Dale was a warm, supportive and helping member of our MRC GEM. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Jean & Jerry Roets

What a wonderful guy! I meant him first through the CERT Program in Gwinnett County and I appreciated like so many others his most positive attitude about volunteering. My deepest sympathy go out to his family and friends.

Dale was always friendly and kind to me.  I knew Dale through CERT and MRC.  Dale was always ready to lend  a hand and give his time.  I will miss working with him on volunteer projects.

Dale was a wonderful person who always had a kind word and spent much of his time helping others.  I knew Dale for over five years as a fellow member of the MRC GEM Medical Reserve Corps.  Dale put way more effort than most into learning how to serve his friends and community in the event of a disaster.  Losing Dale is a loss to his family, friends, and community.
