Patty, I just wanted to tell you how sorry I was to hear about Dale. I don't get a paper and very seldom talk to ex coworkers so I didn't find out until after his services. Otherwise I would surely have been there. Just wanted you to know I was thinking about you. Take care of yourself, Charlie Coco

We are at a loss for words over the loss of such a wonderful man. We met Dad around 9 years ago, he immediately took us in as one of his own. He has always taken our son in as one of his grandchildren from day one. He would show up for the baseball games and always made Cameron feel special, he never treated him any differently. One of my fondest memories was of Dad and Patti making a bonfire and hosting a birthday party for Cameron. I'm getting choked up for words just thinking about all of the great times we had. I think the things we will miss the most are his unending show of love and his sense of humor. Dad, you were taken way too soon, but you have left behind quite a legacy and a huge trail of people that will forever love you and hold you dear to their hearts. Thank you for showing me the kind of love that a father should have for their children. I never had that before I met you. I will love you forever! Love, Jennifer French On behalf of Paul, myself, and Cameron

Daddy, you are missed so much already. Hard to believe I won't have you to lean on anymore. I love you with all my heart. You were the best role model for my family. It does bring some peace knowing we will see you again some day. Until that day, know we will think of you often and always tell your stories to your grandkids. Rest in peace.

It has not sunk in yet, but I know it will soon. I never imagined you anywhere, but a phone call away. I miss you already. I will strive to be the example you were to me. "That's Dale Wagner's boy" is something I will always be proud of. I love you and will see you soon, but not yet.......
