I worked for Dale as an operator for ten years. He was as fine a man as I ever met at Carbide. I was very fond of him. He gave me sage advice that I treasure still today. I talked to him several times a year up till two years ago. He always sent me a newsy Christmas card every year after he retired. My heart is heavy at your loss. I will miss him as I considered him a great friend.
