My sincere condolences to Eric, Ryan, and the entire Ludwick family. I met Dale when he got to Nellis AFB and I must say he was the best Officer or Enlisted person that I ever worked for in my entire Air Force career. He could be tough but he was caring, fair, and above all else HONEST. When I was diagnosed with Cancer he was the first person I called and he gave me great advice that I adhere to right up to this day. I don't know if and when the shock will wear off, but I do know that I will never forget him in my lifetime. God Bless Him and your families.

Sincere condolences to the family. Dale was such an easy guy to know and loved talking sports, especially about his boys baseball careers. A very proud father. We had some good military stories over a cold one. A favorite moment for me was when Ryan was visiting and I introduced him to my son Adam who is an avid baseball fan and a Cardinal fan. Ryan was showing him batting drills and techniques for an hour. Dale looked at me and said "Look at those two!" Dale, thanks for the stories, rest easy until we meet again.

I am sorry to hear of Dale's passing. He was a great man to speak to when I was assigned to 3rd shift patrol, being the time he worked at Country Inn.

Our sincere condolences to Dales family. We had the privilege to meet Dale and talk sports, especially Redbirds baseball at the legion on several occasions. Once he realized we were basically neighbors with the Cardinal Nation on my garage door, we became very good friends. We even had the pleasure to meet his brother in law GaryWhite when our son enrolled at McKendree U and he said he had a nephew playing for the Cardinals and we said that's funny we have his Dad as our neighbor! Lol! It was our pleasure to know Dale may God bless him and your family!
