In our 21 years together
the happiest time of his life was going to the
Chicago Cubs games when they played St Louis Cardinals. We had players seats courtesy of his cousin Mark "
Amazing" Grace the 1st baseman for the
Cubs. Thank you Mark
One thing I can say honestly about Dale the only person he loved more than himself was his mom!
I remember one Saturday afternoon when I was working at the Dario. Dale came circling through, as we all did, with a big trophy in the passenger’s seat of his Mustang. He had won it that day at the drag race in Kansas. Dale was honest about it and later revealed that on that particular day he didn’t actually have to race against someone to win the trophy. That day there wasn’t any other cars in the same class of his Mustang to race against. But, nevertheless it was impressive. Way to go Dale. Good times have not been forgotten. May you rest in peace.
I only knew William for a short while I had the pleasure of meeting this true gentleman in Mexico, he was a character full of life, laughter, and plenty of stories to tell. We had some good laughs during our holiday and memories that I will never forget. I know he will be sadly missed by so many. sending my condolences to all his family and friends.
