Sincere sympathy to his wife and children whom I never met and as well all the family in Ontario....it's so very difficult to believe he is gone, but I believe with all my heart that he is with you all to watch over you now...Hugs from cousin Shelley
Dale is a great man, that will be hard to replace. Great Brother and friend of Local 95. Cheers Dale, this is not good bye but until we meet again.
To all the McManamans: First of all, I can't get over how Dale looked so much like my father, his Uncle Bryce and his mother....especially in the photo you chose, it's perfect! My heart aches for all of you.... he loved you all so much. What a wonderful, husband, father, grand father and brother he was to all of you. I got a kick out of his sense of humor, he was spot on, especially when it came to politics and speaking his mind... oh, how he made us laugh. My sincere condolences going out to you all, it will be difficult so lean on each other, remember the wonderful memories and gifts he gave you all over the years and know he is now with his Mom and Dad and they are rejoicing together. Know he is near and as you wait on this side of Heaven, watch for "signs", there will be many. Sending much love from NS and I wish I could be there in person but for now, hugs all around my beautiful family. xoxo RIP My Cousin Dale - God's Speed.
Laurie and family so sorry to hear of Dales passing condolences to the family from Pat and I and our family
Dale was one of the grumpiest, funniest, most likeable people I have ever met. I just loved being in his company. Loved listening to his world views and opinions...he pulled no punches and always said what he felt. Truly a great guy.
He generously embraced my family into his fold with open arms. He made my kids laugh hysterically, which warmed my heart. He will be greatly missed, but always remembered.
Deepest condolences to Laurie, Ryan, Ashley and the rest of his loving family.
De-Ling, De-Ling Dale!
