Kenny
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you....I will miss Kenny and always remember the Christmas Eve get together having a glass of scotch with Kenny to toast the holiday. I will also remember babysitting Shawny and Mike while he went to the Eagles' game. What great neighbors the Dales were for many years next to mom and dad on 3rd avenue. My heart goes out to all of you. Thanks Kenny, for the great memories.
Great Friend
There will be many who have lost a great friend in Ken Dale. He was a very kind and generous person. He was funny and had a great sense of humor. Many good times were shared by those who had associations with Ken. Days at noon at the "Y" in Coatesville playing basketball. Willing to do anything for you. Ken enjoyed eating out. He loved going to the Eagles Games and eating at Hugo's after the game. He was a good son to his parents and a great father to his children. Ken, you will be missed by many and never forgotten.de
