I was privileged to meet Dale Colby and some of his family in 2011, and we enjoyed a great conversation about our shared genealogy and family history. He was my 2nd cousin 1x removed and his daughter and sons are my 3rd cousins. I enjoyed our occasional contact by email. My condolences to all the members of his family, I know he will be missed.
