Betty, Brad, Darrell and Karen:
You have our deepest sympathy for your loss of Dale. Dale always had a smile and a hello for me everytime I would see him. I first got to know him 43 years ago, playing golf with him at Connequenessing CC and when I helped my dad construct the addition on your house. He always showed an interest and would ask how our son was doing when Greg Jr. was playing ball. I do know how much you will all miss him. Again, please accept our condolences.

Jim & Terri Brown
Mrs Brown, Darrell, Brad and Karen,
My condolences and prayers for you and your families. I've always looked up to Dale and admired his integrity and support. From midget football through high school and beyond, I always knew he was going to be tough on us, but very supportive as well. I can't remember an event where I could not feel his presence. He has positively impacted a lot of athletes, me included.
Our deepest sympathy,
Jim & Terri Brown
