Dale_Harris_Obituary.jpg

From Tom Brusca:


Hi,

Dale was a great friend to many of us and we will miss him dearly! I thought I would pass on a couple of things that happened at the Winter Worlds in Las Vegas this past week. Our team (Portland Disposal 65's) played our first game in the tournament against Top Gun of San Diego, our team began the tournament by saying a prayer for Dale our friend and fellow teammate .  The coach of the Top Gun team asked me about Dale and mentioned that their team would like to join us in a prayer after our game.  At the conclusion of the game we all held hands and Dennis Brown led us in a prayer for Dale. I thought that was a very classy act on the part of the Top Gun players and we will be forever thankful for their show of respect for Dale. In another game we played our old nemesis (and friends) the Lighthouse Mariners from California.  After going through the line shaking hands with the players from Lighthouse we watched as they got together at their dugout and put their hands together and gave the cheer "Dale Harris".  As Senior Softball players we love the competition and always want to do our best, the respect and friendship shown for Dale at the tournament was inspiring and something we will never forget.

Respectfully,

Tom Brusca (Coach Portland Disposal)

Two salient memories of Dale will remain with me until I join the eternal softball game. First was Dale's demeanor towards his teamates. He never had a critical word about on or off field performances. The second was his basketball prowess. Dale's idea of a pass was not to pass up a shot. Justly so, he was a flat out scorer.

I thought I was too old to be shocked by life. I thought I understood and accepted God's will and that there is a time for everything. I forgot just how precious friendship is and how fragile life is. The last time I was with Dale, we watched the Indians beat his beloved Yankees and I was unmerciful in my moment of victory. As I reflect about Dale and our friendship, I realize just how being around him made you enjoy even the smallest of happenings. I will miss him greatly. Thanks Dale, for letting me share a part of your life and making me better for it. My condolences to you Jean and to all of your family. God be with you.

Dale is the consummate team player. He will do anything to help his team win. I will miss a wonderful teammate, more importantly I miss the person Dale was. My heart goes out to Jean and family.

What an incredible journey. Dale was one of the best softball hitters in the game, a true gentleman and a wonderful family man. My fondest and toughest memory was his incessant ability to continually hit balls over my head and down the line when I was in right field. Hard to believe how often he stood at third base. What wonderful memories and, I too, will not say "Goodbye" just "I'll see you later".
  Mickey Bartels (Puyallup, WA)

There are so many good things about Dale that I will remember. I believe the most important thing to me was the unconditional friendship he gave to his friends. We are fortunate to have known him.I still wish I could have blocked his quick little shot at about 10 feet. He was a very good athelete.

Sorry I didn't sign the book at the service today. I forgot.(old-timer's
disease).
When I first met Dale, I couldn't
believe that anybody could be THAT happy, ALL the time. I soon learned that Dale was the poster child for
happiness & he influenced all of us.
Dale made softball road trips fun &
adventursome.
I love you Dale and I'll miss you.

Jean, I will lift you all up in prayer every day.

I first was personally introduced to Dale some 3 years ago when I was playing Senior Softball with the First American Title Group our of Renton. He was such a gentleman. He kept asking me if I wanted to take a turn or two @ his 3rd base position while we were playing in Kelowna, BC; I though that was very generous of him and I did. We wound up trading off during the tourney and established a friendship. In my first trip to AZ for the Sun City and Mesa tournaments, Dale was the first to greet and introduce himself to my companion Diane; she still remembers that moment even today as he instantly made her feel part of the team. I also just recently spent moments one on one with Dale discussing his hip replacement and how the hip action was so important in the softball swing. He thanked me in a very sincere manner for sharing the time like he would always do. Dale was a very genuine and unique individual and I will miss his company.

I met Dale in 1960 at the Boeing Plant in Seattle. We've been friends for 47 years. We had great times at the BMA golf tournament, playing golf and softball...and don't forget the parties! He was the greatest guy you could have as a friend. He will be deeply missed by all. Our hearts go out to Jean and the family.

Dale was a wonderful, wonderful neighbor and friend, and one of the very best friends of my Dad, Dennis, who died last year, and who lived right across the street from Dale and his family for over 20 years. Dale was always friendly and warm to our family. When my Father was suffering with cancer and unable to drive, Dale would often drive my Dad to the hospital, and Dale was always around when my Dad needed him. My prayers to his family. This is a tough time. Dale was such a great, great guy.

I was lucky enough to know
Dale for some 30 years, he was one in a million. It won't be the same going to the ball field knowing he won't be there.
Senior softball is like family to a lot of us and Dale's passing is like losing a member of that family. Dale you will be missed.

The world is a much sadder place without Dale in it. Dale (and Jean) made my daughter, Susie and I feel as if we were a part of the family. I would tell everyone "I'm going to my family reunion" because that is how everyone felt that went to Crystal Mountain. My heart aches so much at this tragic lose. Dale will be missed by so many, beacuse he was so loved.

It's a sad day when you have to say good bye to a friend like Dale. I know how much Dale enjoyed his family, retirement and playing softball. He had a positive outlook and a great sense of humor. I feel fortunate to have spent some time with him Saturday evening playing cards, telling stories and having some laughs. he will be missed by all who knew him.
With Love and Sympathy,
from our Family to yours.

My first thoughts about Dale are that he was a real swell guy and a very tough "out". I pitched to him through a number of years and always expected him to get that needed hit. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

I was so sorry to hear of Dale's passing. In every persons life, you come across a person who has made a differnce in your life, and Dale was that person in Diana's and my life. I have never known anyone who enjoyed their retirement as much as Dale did his. You already know how much his family meant to him (you were everything)What you may not know is how much he meant to his friends.
God bless and know he is in our prayers!
With Love

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. I know he meant alot to my father, Lyle Montgomery. He was such a happy, fun loving guy. Whenever we would go and watch my father play softball, Dale was always the first one to come and greet my husband, son, and I, with a hand shake and a smile. What a wonderful person he was...let alone the best senior third baseman we have ever seen play softball. He was amazing! Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
