They invited us to their "Cabin" in the woods, Where a hammock swung between two trees. The smell of the pines, as the wind
Blew a gentle breeze...
Beautiful quilts hung here and there,
That's how I'll remember,
June and Dale....

Dale wasn't 'just' an astute business man, But a real people person, with a huge radiate smile whenever you greeted him. And, a twinkle in his bright blue eyes, made you wonder what he was thinking...Never an unkind word did he speak - or gesture did he show... That was the Dale Rector I know.

Dale has been taken on Angels Wings, where there is no more pain or sorrow...God bless you June.... May HE give you strength throughout your life.....Until you meet again!!

"To live in other's hearts, is not to die."

How comforting it is to me to be able to share memories of such a special man.

The pictures of Dale & June warm my heart. Which one had the brightest twinkle in their eyes?

Fondly,
Ann Lacy

Dear Rectors---Elaine and I will always have fond memories of Dale, who we met when we built our home at Forest Highlands in 1989. His wisdom, sage advice, and always upbeat personality brightened our days. He is in our prayers. Love, Tom and Elaine O'Toole

Our heartfelt prayers and thoughts go out to the Rector Family at this time. Dale was truly an inspiration to us from the moment we met him.

We have a wonderful picture of the two of us with Dale when we were named Rookies of the year in 1999, that we will always cherish.

We will always keep his vision as we continue to grow with the Realty Executive family.

8 pages of heartfelt sympathy I've just read - sincere appreciation for the kindest of men, who was my father-in-law for 25 years. What to add? Maybe just that Dale taught me to embrace ALL of life. When he went into the office early every Saturday morning, he would face a huge mound of papers on his desk without flinching. I asked once, how he kept from feeling overwhelmed by so many problems. "Life IS problems, he answered, "There are always more. Solving problems is what I do all day. I LOVE this work!" Maybe that partly explains the twinkling smile so many refer to.
Also, Dale walked his talk. No wonder he was a Rotary governor. He lived by that admonition about checking before you speak. Certainly if it wasn't true and kind, he didn't say it.
But I suppose I'll remember him best as the ideal grandfather. Thank you, Dale, I love you still. And you too, June. I wish you swift healing of the emptiness you doubtless now feel.

Billie and I would like to extend our deepest sympathy. We thought the world of Dale and really appreciate what he did for the individual sales agent. He was a visionary who was ahead of the rest of the Real Estate industry. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Dear June & Family I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I will always remember Dale's wide smile, bright blue eyes and the excitement in is voice when he would come out to our office and tell us about a new idea or plan for the Metro office. I worked for Dale for over 20 years and he was always there for you and took that extra time to listen. Dale was a wonderful and caring man who will be remember and missed. God Bless

Dear Rector family and Realty Executives,
It was my pleasure to be associated with
Dale and Realty Executives for ninteen years.
The 100% concept was wonderful for me and
our associates and I will always be grateful
to Dale and his foresight in developing this
concept. We had lunch together in Forest
Highlands only a few years ago and I was
able to tell him that I truly appreciated his
contribution to the real estate world.
I am so sorry for your loss, a loss we all feel.

Dear June and Family,
You know how sad we are to hear of our dearest friend. Since Jake and Dale met at the age of nine, the friendship never waned. We
shared so many great and, in many
cases, unusual experiences during
our growing up years. We will be in
touch. Love and prayers.
