Never had the pleasure of meeting him but believe he would have been an honest and good friend. Will be missed by many I'm sure.

A sad day indeed! I'm sure going to miss 'ol Shameless, especially his comments about me leavin' the door open so all our cold Alberta air could drift down his way. He was a one-of-a-kind man and will sure be missed by the Orange family. Prayers and condolences for Dee Ann and any other family. I know he battled many health problems over the last several years, but he always kept his sense of humor and fun. Only complaints were always about those Shareholders and fortunately he finally got that resolved. R.I.P. old friend.

He touched all of us and that's for sure. Went for breakfast with friends after I read of his passing and felt something was missing, realized what it was when I got back, touched me too and never met the man, I think he practiced my new motto " You've got to live while you're alive " RIP Shameless...Harvey

Day'um that Shameless... goes dies on my birthday... March 2nd. Not ever actually getting to meet him in person, he was a friend. Teased him some and he in return teased us all... like the time of the Shameless triplets... Kinda thought it did not help what those stockholders did to him been better if they had just left him live as he had always done. Have missed and will miss his postings... But Mz Dee will feel the loss the most. Lord I pray that you send the Comforter to DeeAnn and give her peace and laughter and good memories that Dale had created between them for the years to come. amen One less of the family here.

Fellas he wouldn't want sadness and tears. He would want sharp sticks poking fun. As much as he hated his picture taken who wants to bet his obituary picture will be his back?

Like many others I never met him. He & I come from the same area. He used to commute through my hometown on his way to & from when he was still doing his law enforcement gig before he retired. We exchanged private messages & shared some words about local landmarks. I'm sure that battle with family certainly help his health for the past couple of years, maybe longer than that. I pray that his "loving wife" has a love & support network to help her through this. He is at peace now.

RIP my friend I never got to meet up with.
So many stories', bits of advice, or a reprimand, never held back. You knew his option. Just will not be the same here without him.

I started another thread titled: "Our Buddy Shameless". Go there to look at pics of him and leave remarks there now. We'll make that a testimonial to him and I'll try to figure out a way to get it to Deanna. Thanks guys........OH, no tears...they're NOT good for your keyboard.

My thoughts on Dale, er Shamless, I'm pretty sure it was 2016 when he attended Hutch when he and I met, he was setting in a golf cart that he claimed he "borrowed", I don't know if that was true or not. Anyway Pat the Plumber and several other forum regulars were hanging around. I got a couple pictures taken then and a couple more the next time I saw him a couple years later, while returning from Hutch. He gave me a tour of the place with stories of how he came to own the treasures. We talked several times on the phone over the years, the last time in January, when I asked, he said he wasn't doing very well but still had hopes of getting better and said he would get online to thank everyone for the cards he received. Some of the stuff he told me may have been on the forum or from phone calls so it may be old history. As you knew, he really did not like his two brothers, the "Stockholders". One time he asked me to go over to the one brothers place that is about 4 miles from me here in Colorado and spray a 4 letter word and YOU on his lawn with Roundup. I'm pretty much sure he was serious as he offered to pay for the Roundup! As most of you know, his brothers outvoted him, first to take away the operation of the family farm and then to sell it. They claimed they took the farm away because they were concerned with his health, who knows if that was the real reason. It really upset him when the "Green farmer" took over the place and dozed out the conservation structures he had built years earlier. Not making as much per acre yield as he had didn't make him happy either. When they voted to sell the farm and he called their bluff by insisting he get 1/3d of the farm, they weren't happy but gave in when he called a lawyer. I think the reason he bought the CIH tractor was that he was able to climb into it easier as his legs were getting worse. When I talked to him earlier in the fall, even though he had not finished combining, he sounded so happy that he was back on the farm he grew up on. As someone said, it was only right that he got to grow and harvest one more crop. We are going to miss that ornery old guy, but our lives are better because of the thousands of posts he made over the years. If his old lady, er Loving wife, has an auction, would someone in the area please go and bid whatever it takes to procure that evil "machine"? I'm sure it's in the shed in front of the AC G combine, the one place he wouldn't show me. Rest in Peace my friend. BTW I'm also known as JohnCo and John Colo but for the fourth time I could not get on the site without changing my handle, aarrgh! Edited by john64 - 03 Mar 2024 at 8:51pm |

Sad to hear of his passing but I was afraid it was coming. There is a big hole in the Forum community now and I am sure in his local community also. My condolences to Mrs Dee and the rest of his caring family. Glad that he got to harvest corn one more time.
