Dale was a special individual who made everyone’s day better. I worked closely in the office with him on the elevator process and we shared a lot of laughs over the years. He always had a good story to tell and made me laugh. He will be greatly missed.
A friend, Mentor and all around honest, decent and caring man. He will definitely be missed. Rest in peace my friend.
I worked with Dale for several years in Building Inspections and have known him for the 35+ years we have both worked for Henrico County. I always enjoyed his sense of humor and he was a truly nice person and a great friend. Thoughts and prayers are with his family and many friends and co-workers. RIP Dale.

I am so very sorry to hear about Mr. Power’s passing. I met him several years ago when he would do inspections at our properties and would communicate with him regularly via email, as recently as 10/28/2022. He was such a kind gentleman and very patient with me. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
