| One moment Dale was here
with us, Racing with his son and his friends, And always for his fans — A loving husband and father, A generous and respected man, The world at his fingertips, |
 |
| A moment later he was
gone, Still happy racing, still watching his son and family, His friends and his fans — Still a loving husband and father, Still a respected man — now a legend, But racing only in the memories of our hearts. |
 |
| No, now Dale walks, and races, In the presence of God, And lives in a forgiving land of purity high above us. Looking down he should be proud Of the difference one man made — And the many lives he touched on this earth. by Diane Jones, Flagler Beach, FL |
