Dale and I were 2nd cousins in that his grandmother, Nellie Grace (Jacobs) Boyer and my grandmother, Anna Mariah (Jacobs) McEntire were sisters. While Dale and I knew of each other in High School, we neither one were aware that we were related until the evening just before Dale died when I made my peace with him, and he made his peace with me having discovered our relatedness.
I don't remember much about Dale as we weren't friends during his lifetime, but I do remember that his favorite song was "Little Deuce Coupe" by The BeachBoys.
