Dale was our neighbor. We moved here about a year and a half ago. Dale became friends with my husband quickly due to their shared loved for fishing. My husband introduced Dale to bowfishing and he fell in love with that too. He loved being out on the water. Dale was a great neighbor who was always willing to help out. Our dog, Valentine, adored him. He had a green thumb and shared his garden harvest with our family. He also was great with smoking food in his grill and blessed us with that as well. You can smell it in the air when Dale was smoking food. We are saddened that Dale's time on Earth was cut short. Dale did express that he knew Jesus, so we're glad he's with the Lord now. We are praying for his family in this time of loss.
This picture was taken last year when my husband took Dale out for the first time bowfishing in the Everglades.
