CMSgt. Dale Henry Wallace, 67, went home to our Lord Monday, May 11, 2009.

Mr. Wallace was born on October 6, 1941, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Enlisting in 1959, "Wally" served his country in the United States Air Force with great pride and honor. In 1963 he transferred to the South Carolina Air National Guard from which he retired in 1996 as Chief Master Sergeant. During his distinguished career, he received numerous commendations including the Air Force Commendation Medal, Air Reserve Forces Meritorious Medal, and the Air Force Longevity Service Award Ribbon.

He was further decorated with the Kuwait Liberation Medal from the governments of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

He was a devoted husband, and loving father and grandfather. He enjoyed nothing more than frequent family gatherings. He also enjoyed gardening and swimming with his beloved grandchildren. His parents, Hammon Jefferson Wallace and Roberta Ruth Billman Wallace Anderson, preceded him in death.

His memory will forever be treasured by his loving wife of forty-six years, Barbara Adkins; daughters, Andrea Selby (David), Haynesville, and Angela Wallace, Warner Robins; granddaughters, Amanda, Victoria and Rachel; sister, Cheryl Hernandez, Warner Robins; and an extended family which includes three sisters-in-law, two brothers-in-law, several nieces and nephews; and all of his military brothers.
