My most sincere Condolences. Just today I went to search for Dale to contact him and so sad to see this happened just months ago. He was an amazing biochemist and my mentor. Dale's talent in our Pharma Department were critical to my discovery and doctoral work at the Cincinnati College of Medicine. Over the years I enjoyed his collections and was the recipient of many player piano songs we play today. I am so sorry to have not contacted him sooner and so sad for his family loss

I am so sorry for your loss! I only had the pleasure of meeting Dale a couple of times but I was quick to sense he had a great mind (genius even). He was also very personable and a jokester. I really enjoyed the few conversations I had with him.
