Dale is one of those people that you remember… a class act. He was universally respected in all areas of his profession, and as airport manager. That’s the Dale I knew. He visited often in both control towers at the airport and was always welcome. During a particularly bad ice storm, my wife and I had no electricity at home for two weeks. Dale, while not sanctioning our actions, allowed my wife and I to “sort of” camp out in the old Fire station. He didn’t have to do that, but that was Dale. He always did his job with intelligence and precision… and made a lot of friends in the process. Everyone at the airport will miss him and we are better off having had him in our lives.
My sincere condolences, Carl Brooks
