My heartfelt condolences to the Daugherty family. I’m sorry I only now fired up the old Google machine and tried to track Dale down. We were college room mates for three years and I count Dale as one of my most cherished friends ever. We shared a lot of good times. He used to share his Furry Freak Brothers comics with me and from them I’ll finish with “Keep on Truckin” my friend.
So very sorry to hear about Dale. I won’t forget growing up next door and the great impression his positive attitude, smile, and enthusiasm had on me. My condolences.
Diedre and Family,
We feel so fortunate to have shared a small part of Dale’s life. He is a remarkable man whose legacy will live on in the hearts of those whose lives he touched. May you always carry wonderful memories of your time together.
I am saddened for your loss; Dale was a great man with a big kind heart that I had the pleasure of knowing, albeit briefly, through visits down with Jenn. My prayers are with you all as you mourn his loss, take comfort in his presence in heaven, and learn to live again. Love, Christy
Dear Diedra and children,
We are both saddened to hear of Dale’s passing. He was a great husband, father and friend. We know this is an enormous loss for you family and are praying for you all.
The time of mourning the loss of a great man is upon all of us. I always admired Dale for his strength and wisdom; as an uncle he was a positive influence in my life. Cherish his life and take comfort knowing he is in a better place and lives on. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you,
Love,
Cameron, Dominique, Alexander and Benjamin Werner
Our condolences to Diedra, Mikaela and all of Dale’s family and friends. “In one sense there is no death. The life of a soul on earth lasts beyond his departure. You will always feel that life touching yours, that voice speaking to you, that spirit looking out of other eyes, talking to you in the familiar things he touched, worked with, loved as familiar friends. He lives on in your life and in the lives of all who knew him.”
Uncle Dale you will be missed, I will always remember you as my favorite Uncle. You made me smile every time I saw you with your good humor and love of life. Hope you and Grandpa are smiling upon us together now.

To the family of Dr. Dale Daugherty, our family would like to offer you our deepest condolences. Dale was our son’s audiologist and began treating him and his hearing loss when he was about 3 years old and up into high school. Dale was always extremely compassionate, thorough, and kind to our son and to us as young parents dealing with our sons hearing impairment. Our son is now in college and was extremely saddened by the news of Dale’s passing. May your family find comfort and strength during this difficult time. We will remember his kind heart and beautiful spirit.
God bless,

“Thumbs up”, your picture says it all of who you are! It brought tears to my eyes but also a smile and peace as you encourage the lives you have touched, including mine.
“As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us, as we remember them.”
I am so proud to have been able to call you dad. You enriched the lives of so many people and you have left an emptiness inside us all that can not be filled.
Thank you dad we love you and will cherish our memories of you.
