“Dear family of Uncle Dale, His nephew, Jimmy Lewis, my late husband, thought the world of Dale and had many fun stories about all his many pranks. He was an original and brought joy to everyone’s lives, family and friends. There’s just so much about him that will be missed and yet he leaves so many treasured memories. I pray you all will be comforted with them. With sincere love, Marycarle Lewis”
