Paula, I hope you remember me from the choir at St. Elizabeth's. I read with great sadness of Dale's passing. My nephew, Bryan McEachern, forwarded the obituary to me. I live in Gresham, Oregon now. Please convey my deepest sympathy to all of his family. We ask for God's peace and comfort to surround all of you. Genny Dupre

My condolences to the family. I graduated with Dale and recall many pickup basketball games after lunch in middle school and lots of Astros conversations. God bless.
