This isn’t easy. It’s been over 20 years since I’ve seen you guys but it surely doesn’t seem like it’s been that long. The kids have all grown to be adults. You’ve got grand babies now. Shit I’ve even got grand babies now. Life has a way of making us move faster than we want to. I moved out of your house my senior year i think. Next thing you know it’s been 30 years. I will say this though… I was young when you and Shelly took me in. You hardly knew anything about me but you took me in, trusted me with your home and your family. You treated me as if I was also one of your own. You and Shelly pushed me to do the right thing, to make the right choices, you grounded me when I was a teenage snob. You helped me to stay focused in school and most importantly, you both showed me what family was and should be. Anyone I’ve ever talked to about you guys knew who you were to me. They knew the impact you had on me. I’ve always told everyone your marriage was like Dan and Rosanne. Because it was. In the few years I lived with you, you not only showed me what family was but you paved the way for what I wanted in a partner for life. The way you treated Shelly was astonishing to me as a teenager. The love you had and showed her no matter who was watching was very impactful to me. It made me want that same thing in life. You were the mad that did everything and anything for your family. You worked hard. You never gave up and you showed me, Jennifer, Monica, Andrea and little Dale to never give up and to keep trying at everything. They were young so they may not have seen it when I did but they for sure seen it in the years to come. Because of you I wanted to marry a comedian. A “smart-ass” you could call it. Because of you and Shelly I wanted to have a big family and I wanted that closeness to my family like you guys had. You impacted my life more than anyone knows. I’ll never forget and in fact I’ve told this memory to several people over the years of how you use to wake up super early and get ready for work in the dark and you didn’t want to wake Shelly so you had everything you needed for work at your dresser. You stood there in the dark grabbing for what you needed. You grabbed what you thought was deodorant and sprayed it under your arms, come to find out it was Shelly’s hair spray. Lol. That memory and so many others will be with me forever. I’m so grateful you guys came into my life when you did. I’m thankful for all you’ve done for me and I wish I would have stayed closer over the years but know this… just because life took me in a different direction and I didn’t visit like I wish I would have, there was never a time I didn’t think of you all as family. There was never a time a didn’t tell my kids and my family and friends and even coworkers about all of you and what you mean to me. You were a great man. A great dad. The man Shelly needed. Dedicated, honest and the true definition in my eyes of integrity!
You will be missed! You both hold a very special place in my heart. I love you all ♥️
Michelle

Not many people get the chance to choose their own family, or have a family choose them. I was lucky to have both. At a time in my life when I needed guidance and family, you and Shelly welcomed me into your home and gave me structure and safety. My best memories as a teenager and young adult were spent in your home. Thank you for being a family to me and my children, for sharing your holidays, home, vacations and love with all of us. We love you and will miss you always.
Love,
April

I love you dad and miss you more every day that passes.
I miss your laugh and your wise cracks. I miss your smile and goofy faces you always made. I miss listening to you always order the weirdest thing on every menu and then watching you make a perplexed face and say “what the hell is this?” You loved to try new things and were never afraid of anything. This taught me to have the courage to be adventurous and try something new whenever I get the chance. I miss your advice and opinions. You always had strong ones and always gave them, even when not asked, but they always led me in the right direction. Lord knows I didn’t make things easy on you, especially as a teenager but you were always there. Every. Single. Time. You never turned your back on me or any of us kids. You loved us unconditionally and made sure you put us back on track at the same time. You were the best dad and gave me a childhood full of happiness, love, adventure and fun. You always shielded us from as much pain and negativity as you possibly could. You protected and loved us always. This taught me how to be patient, forgiving and to always make sure people know I love them even through the hard times. We were your whole world and you and mom were ours. Watching how you loved mom showed me what I should expect and what I deserve from a man. I saw the happiness, relief and pride you had when I chose to marry Joe. You knew he would give me the same amazing life as you gave me. I loved watching you be a Papa. I know Joey and all your grandchildren will cherish all the happy, fun memories they have from the time spent with their Papa. They all loved you so much. I promise I will do all I can to make sure everyone is ok and that we continue making wonderful memories together. I love you dad and I will cherish every moment I ever had with you.
Love you forever,
Jennifer

This is a tough one! My father in law was truly one of the single best people I have ever met. Behind the humor was the kindest most family loving man with a heart bigger than life it self. If you were lucky enough to meet him you would never forget him. His "can do" work ethics combined with integrity, perseverance and family values were Dale's traits that I'll cherish and carry on forever.
Really gonna miss you Buddy!
Love ya, Joe
