    Dale was always such a character and always true to himself. He loved to share stories, in all kinds of different voices and accents. He was up for anything to do with theatre, including learning tap dancing numbers. I am grateful to have shared the stage of some local productions with him. Condolences to his family & friends. You will be missed. Rest easy, Dale.

    I was very sorry to hear about Dale's passing. He and I worked together in my first GPLT production, The Good Doctor. We had a hilarious scene together and I did some outlandish stuff jumping on a desk. Dale was such a good sport about it. He will be missed by the theatre community.

    I was one of the many students he had taught. Just wanted to say sorry to his family. He had very unique ways of showing his affection for the students. Rest in peace Mr Dryer.
