I sure enjoyed knowing Dale. He was one of our favorites at Cowboys! I remember him many times of him hauling tail on his bike with a tire around his shoulders, to go finish a bike job. I know you are riding now on the streets of heaven! RIP Brother. Donna Wells Sour Lake, Tx.

Words cannot begin to express the sadness or even attempt to fill the void left in my heart. I rest assured that we will ride side by side once again as we have so many times before. In a place where roads are never straight and the Harleys never break. I will never forget you........
