‘Dale you will be greatly missed! We have many , many fond memories over the years!!!
Love you,
Denise Golden Waller’
‘Leave a condolence or a memory.’
‘Rest in peace, Dale. We will miss you in our neighborhood.’
‘God bless the family and the loved ones of Dale. In the early 70s we worked together the downtown Atlanta area. I will always remember his kindness and thoughtfulness during those days. He used to bring vegetables to a retired, disabled railroad worker who lived on Hunnicutt Street in Techwood Homes. Techwood Homes is no longer there but the memories remain. He treated everyone fairly and equally regardless of their station in life. He was conscientious about his job and I always could count on him to back me up on calls. He was my friend.’
‘Remembering you today and always, as your family and friends celebrate your life. You will be sadly missed, but never forgotten. Rest in Peace, Dale. We love you!’
‘Dale always had a kind heart to those he meet. He was a kind neighbor. He will be missed’
‘I will always remember Dale as a quiet, humble, student at John McEachern High School back in the 1960’s. And most of all he was a tremendous football and track athlete. We ran track together and I’ll never forget him setting the all-time school record in the 100 yard dash at 10.0 seconds durng his junior year. He was very proud of this record, but yet remained humble about it throughout his life. Dale was a superb person and friend who will be missed by all. Rest in Peace my friend.’
Dale was one of my best friends in high school. He was a man of impeccable character.
