Please accept my condolences on the passing of your husband & father. My parents Charles & Marilyn Timme went to high school with Dale and many years later enjoyed a monthly breakfast with a group from the old Bradford High school.

My Uncle Dale will be missed by me. I remember as a small child the happiness and excitement I felt when we were to go visit Uncle Dale and Aunt Judy! Wether it was in the summertime for a POOL PARTY, or the wintertime for a Holiday Celebration, I knew it would be memorable. The Whirlpool, The Basement get-togethers, (I'm not even sure how the rest of the house looks)to the crazy stories, and jokes, Uncle Dale had it going on! (Now that I am older I am quite sure most of it was possible because of Aunt Judy!) I want to say my only regret is that I wasn't able to spend more time with this gentle man. He was better than any of the characters he cherished. I hope he realized how loved and cherished he was in this lifetime....look out heaven, you have an angel in the house!!
