Moved to California

Before we moved to California Dale and I went fishing with Claire and George. Dale caught a fish and was excited but had to throw it back because it was to small, but every time I saw Dale in later years he would always talk about that fish.
In 1951 Ma, Da. Wayne, Bruce, me and Dale moved to California. Joyce was married and stayed in Pa. Claire and George were getting married and also stayed there.

Glendon fun

For the first 5 years of Dale's life we lived in Glendon, PA. We had so much fun. I remember coming home from school and Dale would be there saying can we play now. When dad and Wayne would cut the grass and rake it into piles we would roll down the hill and mess up all the piles. Bruce would also play with us some times but he did not like getting grass in his hair. Bruce and I would rollerskate on the front pourch but when we got tired Dale would pull us back and forth till he got tired. Dale and I would sit by the window and watch the coal truck pour coal down into the celler. When it showed the big kids would go up the hill and sled down to the garage I could not stop my sled so I would run into the door and Dale thought it was very funny when I fell off from the impact. We also had lots of toys to play with in the attic in the winter. Dale liked that and he also liked the closet that went all around the outer edge of the attic. He was the only one who could stand up in thoes closets.

Judy remembers riding home with her new brother, but I guess I was not to be outstaged- I broke my arm and had to be taken to the same hospital where my mother was to bring home a new brother. I don't remember much about the ride, but I do remember getting a cast on my broken arm. The excitement of the new brother came later.

My First Memory

The first thing I remember is bringing Dale home from the hospital. I rode home on the floor of the car in the back seat.

Remembering Dale Daub

My Uncle passed away this past week.

He was only 62.
The circumstances were bizarre (A household fall resulting in paralysis & ultimately.... Heart Failure)

I have not spent years in direct relationship with Uncle Dale.
He lived in the Pittsburgh area (for the last 30+ years)... I've lived in So. Calif & now Texas.
I DID get to see him not that long ago at my cousin Taryn's Wedding. It was great to connect with him.
In fact... I'm very glad that is my last memories of him.
It was a meaningful connection and I could tell he cared very much about me and my family.

The decision has been made not to hold a memorial service for Uncle Dale.
It is our (his surviving family) hope that this blog will serve a place we can celebrate Dale Daub, share our memories, and grieve through thoughts & stories.

As we mourn the death of my Uncle.... Dale Daub I take comfort in the passage from Proverbs 14:

32 When calamity comes, the wicked are brought down,
but even in death the righteous have a refuge.

I pray that an untimely end is resulting in a eternity with God.
