A much belated comment my apologies.
I was in the grocery industry in the 1970’s where I met Dale. We became friends and he was the only male room mate that I ever had live with.
I learned what a man could be because of our relationship. He was a mentor.
Times were hard, but also very good. We experienced the best that life had to offer.
Best to his family & friends. God Bless.
