Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister

Hi Sarah as both Rian and Ian have both said Dale is inspirational to many guys that read his thread . I myself working in the adaptation industry for disabled people have many a time mentioned Dale’s build to some of my younger customers that find themselves in a wheelchair . How you can build things and be amazing even from a chair . I am sorry to here the news . He will always be an inspiration to many .

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister

Sorry Sarah, Dale was an inspiration to many people myself included. I have told my boys about Dale before, you can do anything if you put your mind to it, even from a wheelchair. So sorry I never ended up meeting him. His work is amazing. I hope the end is quick, He will be missed.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister

this is impossibly sad, this build was a highlight of innovation in a dark world of carbon copies. please tell Dale how much his work meant to us.

This is heartbreaking to hear... Dale was an innovative genius, and a really nice guy. My condolences to the family. I'm sure Dale will be well remembered on this forum.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister

Sarah

There are no words to say to diminish the sadness in your and Dale's world.
I was totally unaware of his challenge until a short while back. He proved that if you say you can, you can. He did as he chose.

I wish the best for both of you.

Respectfully

Kim

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister

Ohhhh Sarah, Abby and Bonnie, I am so sorry for your loss.

That was no age to be lost to all of us.

Please feel comforted that there is a whole gang of big hairy men out there who feel for you and will miss Dale's build, mentorship, sense of humour, perspective and true grit on here.

I do hope that you find comfort in knowing he was loved on here by many and that we all stand by you as a family.

Having read his obituary, I could see a continuation of a pragmatic, sensible man and family.

Celebrate his life, always.

RIP Dale.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister

Bonnie, Sarah and Abby, my deepest sympathies, Dales obituary gives us all further insight into what a truly special person he was and how much he gave during his life. He will be missed by so many people on this forum and though he may be gone from our sight he will remain in our thoughts and hearts

RIP Dale
