    From his sister Marlene:  Sadly, my family was separated before my birth in 1964.  As a result, I have never met my brother, Dale. I doubt he ever knew I existed.  Dale passed on the streets of Seattle in 1988.  I mourn him and the time we could have known each other.  Please, anyone who may have known Dale, add a comment.  I would love to learn about him. May his soul live on forever.  Peace, Marlene Dale’s Leaf is at Compass Center.  If you have photos or memories to share, please post a comment.

He will be missed. Bennie’s Leaf is at Compass Center. If you have photos…
