Mark Winkley says
When I was growing up as a kid one of my childhood friends was David Bennett. As you can imagine Dale was always around giving fatherly advice, upbeat and positive in nature. In later years it was always nice to visit with Dale in the community, he grew up with my older brothers and shared stories about them with me, he also always visited with my late father if he saw him out and about it was just the kind of guy he was. He will be dearly missed. My condolences prayers be with you, rest in peace.

John Stoler says
So sorry to hear of Dale. Memories just flood back to halcyon days of fishing and floating the Tongue and Yellowstone. Shooting pool, drinking beer, tying flies in hope of creating the killer fishing fly. I sure miss those good old days, and they were good.
I’m going to miss stopping in and visiting Dale when I’m in town. My heartfelt sympathies to Larry, Earl, Lyle and eveybody else who was lucky enough to have Dale in their lives. I’m going to miss Dale’s mischievous smile and friendship.
