TO: Jeff, Barry/Mariyln,and Don and Sharon and families.
We lost a geat person who loved life and shared his love of life with many of us. We will miss him dearly but will hold on to the many memories he provided.
I consider Dale as a brother like Barry and Don. I am their Uncle but there is little diference among our ages. Memories go back to Union Park off of E.14th St. plus many more. The four of us were playing in a pasture near McCormick St. when Pearl Habor was bombed.
Our condolences go to all of the Bell Family and, may Dale Rest in Peace. Love Bill and Chris

To Dale's family,
I will remember my cousin Dale as sweet and fun-loving. Everything was just more festive when Dale was around. My memories go back to visits to Grandpa and Grandma Clark's home in Newburg and to Ruthe and Everet's when I was a little girl and the Bell boys were teenagers. I last saw Dale after the reunion last November and in spite of his illness, his humor and desire to live life to the fullest never waivered. My family joins me in sending condolences to all who share this loss.

Leah and I's condolences go out to all; especially the Bell families. Dale Dean's infectious personality will be missed by everyone who knew him.
The Bell and Clark brothers all had/have a zest for life. No matter where the Bell and Clark brothers and families got together, there was a fun time for all.
Even though I never met Taylor Clark, I know how he was with family because he lived through his sons and daughters and they all had/have a passion for life which always included the children; that was a gift.
