Your service today was beautiful Dale, Josh’s speech was powerful and moving while Amber’s poem was touching and lovely.  Many stories were shared amongst us and I know you laughed at them all.  Throughout the years, we all had some great times.

Where do i begin….hmmm, i guess seeing him playing baseball comes to mind. I had a HUGE part at my apt back then, and alot of us would hang out together, and go out dancing. Dale would be in the background all slick, whispering with Nubs, or Vince Ruby. His eyes were stunning and his blonde hair, is what all the girls talked about.  I was younger than the crowd I hung out with, but, in my eyes, they were the best of the best from Donegal, BAR NONE!!!  Im sure, the angels are fighting over this man at this point. Dale, Im very sad I havent seen you in YEARS!! And then to see this posted on Vinces page, upset alot of us. RIP, you wonderful man!!!
With Love, ~Vickie Hecker~
