Thank you Uncle Dale for being an Uncle that anyone could talk to. You gave me advice and shared experiences I still carry today. You brought your entire family to visit me as often as you could when I was at my worst. Those memories of family picnics while I was recovering from my hospital stays when I was a kid, I remember vividly. I know there is a special place in Heaven for people who give great hugs. There was love in every one of yours. Say hello to Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Uncle Woody, Uncle Louis, Auntie and Summer. We miss all of them so much. Love you, Darryl Borque

We will never forget our friend, Dale Bourque. A true leader, mentor, father figure, and friend. We will always cherish every moment that we had with you. We all had great times together! North Carolina was the best ever! There were other great times, but living with you and other friends in NC were the best. We most admire you for your out spoken and sometimes harsh honesty. You spoke your mind and everyone knew it! Your heart and giving soul went way, way above and beyond! Thank you for serving our country, and thanks for being a true friend! Rest in peace Dale
