To the Dale Young Family (Robin),
I am sorry to hear of the loss of your husband, father, brother. While I did not have the pleasure of meeting him, it sounds like he lived a very full life. I know from experience how difficult it is to lose someone you love. I pray the Lord will give you strength and peace, and you will find comfort in knowing that others care.
Sincerely, Dian Brown

Robin & I are saddened to hear of Mr. Dale's passing, we are so sorry we can not be there to share in morning for such a dear friend.
One of my favorite moments with Mr. Dale was when we were standing in the bay at the Moore Street Fire House, and a gentleman from New York pulled up to the doors and hollered out the window of his car "Do you know where the Post Office is?" Mr. Dale answered "Yep" after a pause I gave the guy directions, we had a great laugh as Mr. Dale answered the question as it was asked, and said "I should hope I knew where the Post Office is, I lived here over 50 years!"
Gosh we are going to miss him!
Our Prayers for God's comfort, and thoughts are with you all, but especially you Mrs. Shirley we sure do Love you, and Thank you and Dale for your friendship and support over the years.
May God Bless you all
Paul & Robin Wallace
