Dale your were our first born. No I didn't give birth to you but you were mine and your Dad's son in every way. You never forgot Mother's Day or Father's day. Now you are with God and you get to meet the rest of the family and see your Grampa Preuss again.
Thank you so much to all of Dale's fiends and co-workers. Your kind words and friendship with Dale are a great comfort to us.

I met Dale in 2002 when I started working at Highland Park Hospital. For over three years, he was this hyper-active man that would go always the extra mile to accomplish things. I do agree with another person that stated he thought about others first instead of himself. He was very helpful, free spirited, and easy to work with. I remember he would not give up his coffee & cigarretes' breaks. But he was always there, smiling, and sharing his favorite phrases, I remember "sweettteee". I remember he hated answering the phone, lol...He said it would interrupt his "actual work". But he did awesome. He was an extraordinary man. He was the first one inviting me to a movie, when I had moved to Illinois, we went to see Harry Potter. I know he wanted to watch an action movie, but he let me watch this movie instead. We were friends, and I will always remember Dale. God bless him in his new path. And God bless his family to learn to live without him. He will surely be miss. Good bye my friend.

Dale - you will be truly missed and will always be remembered for your humor, your sharp wit, your generosity and willingness to go above and beyond in ALL you have done. I will miss your smiles and jokes and the laughter you brought to me while I knew you. I am truly blessed to have met you and been your friend for over a decade.

It’s always hard to say Good Bye, but especially when someone so young, so vital and so much a part of your life, is suddenly taken away. Dale belonged to our NorthShore Laboratory Family for as far back as we can remember and his presence will be sorely missed. The only comfort we have is knowing that he is looking down from above; and in his inimitable way, commenting on everything he sees saying:
S-W-E-E-E-E-T !!
May his memory be for a blessing for all of us.

Dale was a true friend and always thought of others before himself. They say that the good die young, it is true in this case. I will miss you bro.
