• Notes

  Dale was funny, talented, and intelligent. He played a harmonica and drums and was good at impersonations. He could build a surfboard or a motorcycle and rode both very well. He got his commercial driver's license at age 18 in a tiny Datsun pickup but could drive dump trucks and other equipment with ease. He had a knack for telling stories in a way that made us roll with laughter. He was a good friend and fierce protector. His first car was a small Simca (look it up) and his first motorcycle was a second-hand Sears 106. He was one of the coolest guys in school. (Medical):Dale died when he fell from the back of a pick-up truck.
