I only learned of Dale's passing today from a mutual friend of ours at Cal Poly, Pomona.   We shared an apartment one summer in Belmont Shore with a few other classmates & I had a terrific time getting to know him better... his sense of humor, wit & joy for life.  Unfortunately, we went in opposite directions after college. My regrets in life are many. Losing track of Dale is certainly one of them.  He was an unforgettable character, a worthy competitor & so many other things that made him the genuine person I knew him to be.  My condolences to you for your loss but I'm certain he left you much to remember him by.

Sorry to hear about Dale`s passing.  He was a good guy who I enjoyed working with and staying in touch with once I left TraTec.  My heart goes out to Connie and his children.

I was saddened by the news of Dale's passing. I was a classmate of Dale's at Cal Poly, Pomona. He was always the life of the party, with a keen sense of humor. I am so sorry for the loss of a wonderful human being much too early. My deepest sympathy to Dale's family.

I was a classmate of Dale's at Cal Poly and we stayed in touch over the years.  Dale was the Don Rickles of our class.  If you had a story, he never forgot it.  Mine was "Big George." Dale always had a sparkle in his eye, a jest in his voice and kindness in his soul.  He had a big heart and I will miss him.

I knew Dale since our college days together at Cal Poly, Pomona, CA.  He was passionate about sport teams, his golf, steaks on the BBQ and a stiff drink/two.  Dale was smart and always quick with his wonderful humor.  Dale and I stayed in touch and saw each other periodically over all the following years.   His passing at age 68 is way too early.  I'll miss him forever.

I am so sad to hear Dale has passed. I had the pleasure to know Dale for a short time, but that's all it took for me know the special person he was. Always with a positive attitude and willing to help. My prayers go out to him and his family.

So sorry to hear my good friend Dale passed.  I have worked with him for about 20 years and we had some great times, taking mutual clients out for tacos in Tijuana, or just telling jokes.  He was always so nice.  I am sorry we never got to meet Connie although I feel like I know her from all the stories he told.  He was an honest business man in a tough environment and he was a breath of fresh air to work with.  I'll miss him.

I had the priviledge of working with Dale for 15 years. He was a great guy to work with. He handled the sales and I handled the manufacturing. He was a straight shooter, had a great personality, very friendly and a very cotagious laugh. He enjoyed his golf and was a fine human being. He will be missed greatly by all who knew him.
My condolences and prayers to Connie and the family.

My wife and I have had the sincere pleasure of knowing Dale Fox for close to 20 years through our relationship with TACNA.  Dale Fox was one of the kindest most sincere gentleman we have ever known. He was a real asset to this world and we will sincerely miss him.  WE TRULY LOVED HIM!

I am so saddened to hear of Dale's passing. I met him because my mom was his friend.  She loved Dale and I know she will be in heaven waiting to greet him as she also passed this year in February. Kelli-I am so sorry for your loss, I know how hard it is.  Dale was so funny and always made me laugh when I saw him.  Every time he came into the office I knew he would say something to crack me up. I was sad when he retired because I knew I would miss his jokes.

I first met Dale in 2005.  He was a great help to my family and I as we moved to Mexico that year.  He was a lot of fun and just a great guy to be around.  He told things like they were.  I am deeply sorry for your loss.  I wish to express my most sincere condolences to your family and my prayers go out to you at this difficult time.

I hired Dale many years ago at Tacna.  We worked together for close to 20 years but more importantly we developed a close friendship.  Dale was instrumental in the development and growth of our company Tacna International.  We would not have achieved the success we have enjoyed without Dale's commitment to the company.  My kids loved Dale as an uncle and Dale was always very kind to them.  We will miss Dale, his humor, his outstanding golf game, his generosity and most importanly his honesty and kindness.  Our thoughts remain with Connie and the Fox family during this difficult time.

How can you put the emptiness you feel when loosing your dad into words? I do not think there are enough to fill the void. On a happy note, what I know I have from him is my sense of humor. I am with out a doubt my father's child. I also have his knees and a bottom-crooked tooth that even braces could not fix. I have many, many memories that I can reflect back to, but it isn't the same. I find myself still waiting for him to call. As he ALWAYS told me,” life goes on kid”. I know it does, but now I do not have him here to remind me. I just hope I can continue to make him proud. My love for you dad is so deep. My emptiness is even deeper.  I am patiently waiting for a sign that you are watching over me. I love you!!

Thank you everyone for loving and caring about my dad!

I first met Dale when I was about 7 or 8 which was 32 years ago. He lived around the block from us and had the most amazing model airplane collection a kid like me had ever seen in his garage. He wasn't just a neighbor to me, he became an Uncle. He even bought me my very first rifle on my 10th birthday which I still have today. Uncle Dale, you will be missed but never forgotten. My heart and prayers go out to the entire Fox family.

First met Dale when he lived in Rio Rico Ariz. He could light up a room allways positive and jokes galore! I have wonderfull memories of him.
My Prayers are with the family

I knew Dale through my Grandparents and always looked forward to him and his wife Connie stay with us. He had such a great personality and was so much fun to hang out with. I always looked forward to the next thing he would say especially his jokes! He definitely kept me on my toes in a good way.

My condolences to Connie and the family..he will be greatly missed.

I first meet Dale many years ago when he was the Plant manager of ITT Cannon in Nogales.  Even though he was a client, he always treated me and my people as a team member and equal.  Later, when he started working for our company in California he again was very professional and treated me more like a friend than anything else.    He was great to work with.  After that company we sold, he and I stayed in touch by phone.  He always had something interesting to say and laugh about.  He was a good guy!

Dale, I will miss you and your great personality, your wonderful sense of humor, and kind words.  Rest In Peace, my friend. My condolences to your family.

Dale was always such a gentleman and full of humor. I knew Dale professionally and as a friend. A very good man.

When I first met you, back at Pepperwood  I wasn't to sure about you, but as time went on, I saw what you were made of , so Mr. Dale, I will miss you, you were always so kind and thoughtful plus a bit of a tease to me, which I always appreciated . I send Connie, and the rest of the family ,my sincere regrets for your loss.
