How has it been 12 years. Howard and I talk about you often. We wish you could have met our grandkids. Nathan's boys are "George-Henrys" just like Nathan was when he was little. Bailey kids are sweet like she was. My kids sure did love their "Hunka" Dale.
I sure wish we could of said goodbye to you and tell you how much you meant to us and our kids.
One day we will see you again where we will never have to say goodbye again. I bet you look like I remember you looking when I was just a little girl. Young, healthy, smiling. I bet you find work to do in Heaven! LOL!!!
I will always be grateful for all the "spend the nights" with you and Donna. All the boat rides, and a all the spankings that your wife's little sister deserved that I didn't get. Me, Jason and Jeff were stinkers!
You will never be forgotten by me and Howard and our kids! You were an example by your leadership.
I'll see you on the other side Dale Dagner!
Love,
Your baby sis in-law.

Well today is fathers day! Went to church today and the fathers day service was dedicated to you. Can't think of anyone more deserving of this than you. Glancing around the church, could see many wiping tears from their eyes. We all love and miss you but know you are in a much better place.

Dale was a genuine example of love and compassion and had an attitude of self-sacrifice and total unselfishness. He always made the least of himself and more of others. Dale taught me so much about life. I feel so blessed to have been his lil' sis in-law and what a privilege to be part of his life! Dale was honorable to his very soul. I miss you dear brother and look forward to seeing you!

I will never forget my Uncle Dale. Never forget that smile he always had. He would always catch me at church and say "hey Bay Bay" with the happiest face. He was an awesome Alter worker at church. Every service he would be in those alters. I miss him so much! He was a good uncle to me! <3 but i will see you soon :)

Thinking of you!

December 23, 2020
by Dana Warren
I woke up early this morning after having that same ole dream of you and Butchy boy fishing together on the bank of a beautiful, lush lake surrounded by bright sunshine and the most gorgeous green grass and trees. As I was walking up to you two guys you both had smiles ear to ear. You both looked younger, maybe 40's. Excitement, Peace and Joy is the only thing that I felt! 
I'm not sure if this message will get through to you, past eternity. I hope it will! Do know you are still missed and loved. You helped raise me being you married Donna when I was still a toddler. I'll never forget all the wonderful memories of the fun I had with your family! You always made me feel welcome to your house even through my rebellious teenage years, me and Howies first years married, then dragging our 2 kids over as well. ALL THE TIME! Ha-Ha-Ha!
You set good examples to me as how a husband should act and live. As well as a Christian. Thank you Dale Dagner for all of your love, kindness, generosity and Christ like life! You were definitely one of the best of the best, the real deal! 
I love ya dearest big brother in-law! 
See ya soon on the other side, God is real close to calling us home now! Happy Heavenly Anniversary and Merry Christmas! 
Give our Butch, Denise, and Mom my love and big hugs from me! 
Until we meet again...
