Dale was funny & very kind hearted. He was definitely liked & admired & "The Fonz" among his many friends. He had gone to a party on Halloween, & I had one week to go to the deliver our son, so I stayed home. He drank 150 proof rum & his friends too him home & put him face down on the seat so he wouldn't have to face me, my mom & dad. During the night he threw up & it got in his lungs. It was so tragic, none of his family, or his son has ever gotten over it. He was my first Love. I know he has been in Heaven watching over his son all these years.
