I was so very sorry to hear of Dale‘s passing. I have many great memories of Dale coming to the Global television studios to do his movie reviews on my show “Colleen and Company”. He always had a somewhat unique take on every movie he reviewed, and his contribution to the show over those years was much appreciated. Dale was always professional, always on time (something highly desirable in guests on live tv!) and very serious when reviewing movies,… but there were lots of laughs. Sometimes the laughter was because of a funny movie, or some rye comment Dale made about the movie, and other times because for many of the years that Dale was a regular Friday guest on my show, we were live, and lots of funny things can happen with live TV that you can’t predict. Dale always rolled well with anything that happened, handling it with that dry sense of humor. It’s hard to believe how many years have gone by, but hearing this news brought back a flood of memories of good times, and now much sadness in thinking that Dale has passed far too soon.
I would very much like to attend the funeral, but I’m recovering from surgery last week and I’m not sure if I will be well enough to attend. I will certainly, at the very least, be there in spirit. My sincerest condolences to Dale‘s family. I know from things he told me in brief personal conversations in the green room over the years how important his family was to him. He certainly was an important part of our “TV family” on “Colleen and Company” for many years.
With my deepest sympathies,
Colleen Wilson
