Paul is to young to talk very well, or even understand what is going on. So I will tell you what was told to me.
Jimmy Dale was the first man ( besides his own dad ) that little Paul ever went to. His eyes would light up like 100 watt light bulbs whenever he saw Jimmy Dale. Jimmy Dale would get down on the floor with him and play with his trucks and cars, and make little Paul laugh until he was in tears.
When ever it was time for grandpa to leave little Paul would cry and reach for him.
2 yr. old Paul will probably not remember any of that. But his parents do have some pictures and video tape of him. It is a shame that is the only way he will ever know his grandpa.

Wendy (Stevens) Bailey ( daughter )

Wendy is still in counseling, and is not available for comments. She could only tell me that she love's her dad very much. She is having a very hard time dealing with this loss, she knows she will never get pass the pain. And she feels that it is now her mission to see that justice is done. 

 Here is the song Wendy wanted me to place on this page for her Tribute to dad/grandpa

Pattie Burris Greencee (Cousin ) Jimmy Dale
Jimmy Dale was a lovable man
He had many friends and loved ones dear
And everyone was glad to see him
whenever he was near
His job was a carpenter
And he did his job quite well
He enjoyed life to the fullest
As all who knew him could tell
We did not get to say good bye
Or to give him one last kiss
And because he was so greatly loved
He will be so greatly missed

More to come soon........

One of Jimmy Dale's favorite artist was Elton John. We had talk about that at the showing.  After the funeral services some family members went  to a local restaurant, and the sound track playing was  Elton John. The first song that played was " Don't let  the Sun go down on me " We took it as Jimmy Dale    sending us a message. And we don't plan on ever letting the sun go down on him....
