C/P:from another site
Today just after 4:00 PM Dale(dalerulesu) passed away at the hospital while recovering from surgery. I know dale was popular here and I wanted to get this news to everyone. I did confirm this by phone and spoke to one of his childhood friends and landlord. I as I'm sure everyone else am in a state of shock. I'm very sorry I have to deliver this news to everyone.
Please give your thoughts and prayers to dale and his family and friends. He will be greatly missed.
