My sincere condolences to the family. Dale brightened the lives of all who he came in contact with. My heart is broken at this huge loss.
My condolences to Dale family he was a wonderful co-worker but most of all an amazing person and a incredible friend never a dull moment when he is around he will be greatly missed
My sympathy and deepest condolences to the family.
Always a smile, Fun to chat with. A person I called friend. Dale he had a way of lighting a day. I’ll miss you bud. Condolences to your family.
It is with great sadness that we have learned of Dale’s passing. Dale was an exceptional colleague who always went above and beyond his job description to care for his team members. He was not just a co-worker, he was a true friend who always listened and offered his help when needed. Dale’s commitment to his family was admirable. He lived for them and his late mother. We had the privilege to hear the love he had for his children in the stories he shared of their achievements, and it was clear how much they meant to him.
Dale’s passing has left a deep void in the ACCO Brands family. We will always remember the kindness and compassion he brought into our lives, and his absence will be felt deeply by all of us. Let us take a moment to mourn his loss and cherish the memories we shared with him.
Dale was a joy to talk with about all our mutual interests. It was always great when he would visit me in the office to see how things were going and tell me about his new buys (Cards etc) and the excitement in his voice.
My condolences to his family, he is and will be greatly missed.
My heart goes out to you your family. Never saw him angry and was just one of the most good hearted guys I have ever know. Rest in peace my friend
He was my husband, friend and a good father to my children Ryan and Jacqueline. He will be missed as my friend and father to my Children. Loved and gone too soon . The memories of good will go on forever in our hearts. Rest in peace Dale.
Thinking of you Shelley

I’m very sad to hear about Dale’s passing. I worked with Dale at ACCO Brands and he was an excellent person and colleague.
Prayers and condolences to Dale’s family and may he rest in peace.
It is with a very heavy heart to hear the news of Dale’s passing last week.
He & I were fellow colleagues at ACCO Brands Canada and became friends over my five year tenure where we greeted one another almost every morning as what became our 7am ritual of his coffee break & my settling in to start the day.
We would greet one another with a smile and good morning while sharing personal or work related events/stories and never was there a negative word that left Dale’s mouth.
Most of our discussions were centred around family and he always had a glint in his eye, grin on his face when speaking about his kids.
This world was a better place with Dale in it and I will miss him not being here but cherish the little time we did spend together, as he made a difference in my life.
The news of Dale’s passing is heartbreaking. Dale was a fixture around ACCO, he knew everyone and was never too busy to ask how you and your family were doing. Dale cared about people – truly one of the good ones. His love for his children and late mother were evident and he always talked about how proud he was of his family. A friendly face, a listening ear and a full heart. Thank you, Dale for always managing to bring warmth to our workdays. Rest in peace and love and prayers to your family.
It was a shock to hear of Dale’s passing. He was always the one with the big smile and great sense of humor. How we loved to joke around at work. My condolences to the family.
I would like to send my condolences to Dale’s family and circle of many friends, he truly was an unique person, in the 7 years I worked with him, he always came to our office with the best of attitudes, no matter what request or ask went his way, he always embraced it with a positive mindset and made things happen, he was always supportive with me from day one and he helped me on many different projects through my time with Acco.
I would also like to let his “children” (as he referred to them) know, that he was a very proud dad, many times he would refer to them and he would mention how much he enjoyed spending time with them, he would always ask me how my family was doing and even throw a couple of advises when he thought it was due…simply put, a Good Guy…
Rest in peace Dale.
I’m very sad by hearing this shocking news of Dale’s death. He was such a nice person and I always see smile on his face. He was very happy and planning to enjoy his
life but God made another plan for him. My deepest sympathy with his family, please know that you’re in my thoughts. May God rest Dale’s beautiful soul in peace forever
🙏 Dale, you will be missed 😭
Our deepest condolences to Pauline, Janette, and family.
Every time you met Dale he greeted you with his patented smile originating from a mischievous sparkle in his eyes. Behind that playful exterior was a devoted family man, a one-of-a-kind colleague, and a dedicated team member that made enormous contributions to ACCO Brands Canada. Sincerest condolences to the Charron family.
I am still in shock and in disbelief that I am writing on here today. My sincerest condolences to Dales entire family and loved ones, especially Ryan and Jackie.
We grew up into he same building Dale grew up in. My mom babysat Ryan in his younger pre-school years and as Ryan got a wee bit older I was passed on the baton of babysitting him. I couldn’t wait for Ryan to go to bed as I was able to raid Dales stereo system and all the great music he had. I loved it so much I asked Dale to make me a mixed tape. God I wish I still had that. You know after all this time I cannot for the life of me remember any of the songs/music but one, Black Velvet sang by Alannah Myles. If I’m not mistaken he had a great love for Canadian Musicians.
I’ll never forget Dale taking us kids on Nature walks through Roding Park. I’ll never forget singing “Chip and Dale rescue rangers” around him and a friend by the pool. I was very annoying.
He was the coolest guy ever! I’m not a car lover as Dale was but that Red I think it was a firebird he had (I’ll let his family confirm that one) was solid! Super Cool! But his love for cars never outshined the love he had for his kids. He had such pride in being a dad.
Dale always had a smile on his face that was contagious. He was always so kind to me and my family. I have so many fond memories of the stand up man he was.
Dale you will be missed by so many people. Gone way to soon it’s unfair but you’ll never be forgotten. Your lifeline run through your kids always and forever.
Rest easy Dale until we meet again.
Love Nicky Butt of 1154 Wilson ave xoxoxo
P.S. wearing my black velvets today xoxo
I am still in shock and speechless. My deepest condolences to Pauline, Janette, and his entire family. May you rest in peace Dale.
My sincere condolences to Janette and Dales family
Dale was such a sweetheart of a guy. He will be truly missed by all who had the great pleasure of meeting him, and knowing him.
Rest easy and peaceful, Dale
Love, Lesleigh and Bob Degray
Our sincerest sympathies to Ryan, Jacqueline, Jeanette, and Pauline and her family, with the sudden death of Dale.
We have only known him for a few years, but in that short time we came to know him as a caring son, brother, father and friendly neighbour. A hard working, fair man with a sense of humour.
May God comfort you all and give you strength and peace, as you begin to live life without Dale’s presence.
And as you mourn and grieve his loss from your lives, may you know that others will be praying for you and our God with be holding you in His arms.
💕🙏🏻 Jerry and Joanne Bekendam and family
Dale’s natural way of being a ‘people’ person was felt every time we interacted. It always felt like we were best buds. He had a natural ability to connect with people like old-time friends (even if you had just met him). He was a genuine man, giving us the confidence to just be ourselves and have genuine conversations and laugh-out-loud to our heart’s content. He always dropped by to say hello to all of us in the Creative team at ACCO Brands…. and would always get us going… we shared so many laughs.
Dale, you will be truly missed, it still feels unbelievable that you are no longer with us. May your spirit be in peace.
My deepest condolences to the all the family and friends.
My deepest condolences.
The few moments I’ve met Dale… he was nothing but kind, polite and had this smile that made you feel so comfortable. He will truly be missed but never forgotten.
Dale, may your spirit be always present and looking over all your loved ones.
Love, Emily and Jess Gale❤️
