Dad loved coffee, he loved sports, he loved travel, he loved his family, he loved country music, and he loved the holidays.  He loved.
He had tough life growing up, but he always said, “What can you do about it?,” so he always forged ahead and looked on the bright side if life to find the good.  He worked extremely hard to provide for his family and he was amazingly generous.  He had a ten year perfect attendance record, which drawn out, was more days than Cal Ripken Jr’s record and working in an iron foundry was far more strenuous work than pro baseball.  He was a true “iron man.”
i miss my best man at my wedding, my travel companion, and the very best father and role model that this life could afford.  We put up the Christmas tree tonight and a row of lights are out making a dark ring around near the top.  It will remain unlit this year in your memory.  Merry Christmas, Dad!  I know that the kids will be opening gifts that you already bought for them, because you were generous and thoughtful to the end.
The Reading Royals had a moment of silence for you at one of the games.  So well deserved!
I miss you and we all miss you!
Love, Darren

Dear Hersh Family…
Although it has been many, many years since the days of street hockey in the Armstrong parking lot and my 1st concert (Peter Frampton and Lynryd Skynryd, amonst a few others) I will carry many memories of Dale Sr. and your entire family with me for the rest of my life. I know you all will find peace and comfort in the wonderful memories that he has left you with. Sending love to each of you.

To Dale’s family: I am so sorry for your loss. Dale will be deeply missed. It won’t be the same at the Reading Royals Games without him.  May he rest in peace.  He will never be forgotten.

Priscilla and family,
I was so saddened to read of the passing of Dale.  What a great guy he was. I enjoyed Dale’s friendship over the years…both during and since our days at Lancaster Malleable.  He always stopped by to see me at Clipper Magazine Stadium, whenever he came to a game.  He will certainly be missed.  You have my condolences.

We had the great pleasure of getting to know Dale (“Pop”) and Priscilla (“Mum”) at the Reading Royals games. We are so honored to have been blessed with this friendship and the warm welcoming of the entire family. We will always carry his memory in our thoughts and hearts and know that at every Royals game, he is sitting behind us telling them to ICE IT. You will be sadly missed!
May God be with you and know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers. Rest in Peace Dale. We loved you then, now and forever.
Love,
Lynn and Chet Deeds
Reading, PA.
