I’ll never forget our friendship and our adventures on motorbikes, trips out to Camp Wallace and the Blimp Base and swimming out at Delaney Sand Pits, and sneaking a carload of guys into the Bayou Drive Inn Theatre.
Always smiling, positive and a great man
I was blessed with your friendship.

Dale was a great musician and singer, and an even greater person. Although I lost touch with him over the years, I followed his music career. I admired Dale very much. Our condolences to Cherry and the family. R.I.P.
Cherry, I met Dale and You in New Braunfels at the house you purchased on the river when you wanted to do improvements on the waterfront.That meeting evolved into a trusted friendship that included playing golf and enjoying each other’s family and being there for each other through the challenges of life. You both graciously shared your beautiful home with us and were great hosts to your friends whenever they would come. I’m sorry Beth and I weren’t able to be there today to honor Dale and You, please know our prayers are with You and your family, Jimmy and Beth Owens
Prayers for all of you! Dale was a man I will always remember! He always had a smile on his face, he made you feel important, he played music like he loved life! I know he loved his family! Rest in peace, Dale!
