Sandy, Dale's siblings, and all family members, I want to express my sincere sympathy to all of you . I know that Dale was a much loved husband, father, grandfather, and brother. He will be greatly missed by each of you. My memories of Dale are from his days in junior high. He was a very nice young man, kind, and loved a good laugh. He was one of those students you could rely on and was liked by his classmates. May you be comforted by the good memories of Dale. Sincerely, Jeanne Tierney

I worked with Dale for a couple years at Emmi Roth in Platteville. Dale was a great guy, hard worker and was always there if you needed him. He will be greatly missed.
