    Me and my dad shared a lot of laughs with Dale. He was truly a gentle giant. His sense of humor and humbleness is still missed to this day and will be missed forever. Love and miss you buddy.

    I knew Dale in HHC 1-36 in Germany. He was a great guy with a huge heart wnd stood up for his platoon and squad members. He was also one of my best friends and treated me like family. Karan Dhooper, him and I were really close and had plenty of good times. One thing hye taught me is that no matter what including you size anything can be done if you put your mind to it. He also taught me alot. You will be missed "Big Dale'

    I served with Dale in Germany. This is sad. Dale was a Big guy with Big heart. He was always there when i needed to talk. He was one of the hardest working guys i have ever met. Dale was a leader by nature who was not scared of standing up for his soldiers if the time called for it(a ability that a lot of leaders lack). Will miss you brother. RIP. Gone but not forgotten. Keep the candle burning.
