I will always remember Dale taking time to help me as a kid trying to find myself back in Custer High.

He always took the time to listen and made you feel important when he talked to you.

Dale hired me after Custer to work at the Stadium in Security. He was always there to help.

I also remember being in Student Council when Dale was leading all of us to be more envolved.

I never had Mr. Hinz as we called him back then in a class but he helped shape my future in so many ways

by getting me to take part in other activities and mentioring me along the way.

MR HINZ you made a huge difference in the life of a kid who grew up in the housing projects.

Has been married over 40 years with three kids and three grandkids.

I have run a number of business successfully because of your helpful voice and ear back in the day.

I wished I had thanked you and talked to you  since Custer.

Getting the notice of your passing brought back some wonderfull life lessons.

Rest in peace my friend.

Thank you.

Hit the ball straight on those beautiful golf coarses up there.
