We are gathered here today to celebrate the life of Dale Mima, who was born on July 12, 1959, in Poughkeepsie, New York. Dale was a beloved member of the community, known for their infectious laughter and quirky sense of humor.

Dale leaves behind 10 children, each unique in their own way. Their names are a mystery to us, as Dale always joked that they couldn't keep track of all their names. One of their children even proudly served in the Marines, a fact that Dale would brag about endlessly.

On May 11, 2024, Dale succumbed to the battle with cancer. Despite their illness, Dale never lost their sense of humor, cracking jokes until the very end. They would want us to remember them with smiles and laughter, rather than tears.

So let's raise a glass to Dale Mima, a true comedic genius and a loving parent. May their jokes live on forever in our memories.
