Former DeLand Coach Under Hospital Care


It was reported to me that Dale Papineau, former DeLand coach and currently a teacher/coach at Father Lopez, not long ago had a seizure while in class. The resultant fall broke several vertebrae. More recently, these were surgically reinforced.

Unfortunately, the seizure might have been the result of a brain tumor, which will be the focus of Dale's next surgical procedure, probably early next week.

At last report, Dale was at Halifax Hospital in Daytona. Bear in mind that, due to the serious nature of his condition, and the medication it necessitates, those close to him have requested that NO VISITORS be admitted into his room at this point. However, if you wish to express your support, perhaps flowers and cards, and most of all prayer, would show that his recovery is in the hearts of everyone who knows him.
