    I worked with Dale at Crane for several years. I traveled to Toledo and Columbus, Ohio, to work on projects there. I always considered Dale a good friend and was very happy to call him a friend.

    I worked with Dale for many years at Crane. He was a great guy - capable, knowledgeable and always willing to help the younger workers. A real gentleman. Rest In Peace, Dale.

    Brenda and family, Dale was such a nice, kind man who loved you all dearly. I certainly enjoyed working with him for about 4 years when he came back to work for Tri Star. He was in the group we called the "Old Dudes". They all were getting knowledgeable and they all taught us a lot of different things. I want to extend my deepest condolences to you all. I will be unable to attend his services because I have to attend Grandparents Day at my granddaughter's school. RIP Pops!
