In my youth, I had four best friends (all cousins); Dale, Dean, Martha and Mary Teal. Even though we have been separated by distance most of the years since, I still consider them to be my lifetime best friends. Now, the first of the "eight cousin line-up" is gone. I concur completely with the lines in the obituary describing Dale as a kind hearted and humble soul that most who knew him (especially the girls!) loved him. I wish that I had been able to spend more time with him over the years. Such a loss to his family and friends. Goodbye Dale.
