I have so many memories with Dale. Mor than 50 years! He was my oldest brother, Rudy’s Best friend when we were growing up. He was always at our house. He saved my momma’s life. He was working at City Drug, momma & I were sitting at a booth at the soda fountain when momma starting having a reaction to a morphine shot she had just received, her tongue was swelling & she started having trouble breathing. He helped get mom to our car & he literally flew us to Gainesville Hospital ER. He said it would take too much time to wait on an ambulance. ThE ER physician agreed. He got her to the ER just in time. So many memories❤️❤️❤️❤️ My first “real” kiss!!! ??. Daddy would have killed us. Dale was “too” old for me in my daddy’s eyes!!! My sister kept following us around once, he told her he would pay her a quarter for every muffler she counted out on the highway. So many good memories! He will truly be missed!! He was there for me through so many times in my life!!
We had many good times with Dale. My prayers for his family. Buck & Zetta Smith
Mike and I spent many weekends with Dale and Jodie after we were married. Played lots of canasta and spent a lot of time on the lake. Both he and Jodie are gone too soon.
Dale was a good person and will be missed. He was always kind to me, and Jodie was a special person and a neighbor growing up.
