Old Superhero Never Felt Old To Me - Submission from Dallas Justice Johnson

If anyone has any ideas how to honor this man’s life, please let me know.

Now I don’t want this post to just be about me, I want it to be about him, but I do want to take a moment to address his impact in my life.

I have been sobbing for hours. This man has been an idol of mine for the last 7 years.

I would never fail to bring him up, when I talked of wanting to do hero work.

He was one of the biggest running forces in my life, I am so glad that I got to tell him that, when we first came into contact online.

I more than anything wish I got to work with him in person though and will definitely try to cherish the connections I have in life now, when we work together for the betterment of others.

Dale Pople would often comment words of encouragement when I did the work that he inspired me to do. I would always try to comment on his posts in return when he shared his works and comments that blew my mind continuously. He sent me a Superhero patch, stickers, and most unbelievably the license plate to his Supermobile from the “Superheroes” documentary when I told him I was going to present on him for one of my college classes at UNT!! A proud moment of mine was when he talked on Heroes 101 about a talk him and I had of how long I looked up to him and how it made him feel old but that he did some good there. He was always humble like that.

Dale Pople had a heart I aspire to have and I hope I can even remotely live up to it.

This man had done unbelievable good for others that does not seem possible. For those on here who are not part of the RLSH community if you want to learn more about his life, watch the “Superheroes” documentary from HBO that is on Prime rn for free or his own 15 minute documentary here on Facebook (shared it a couple times here before) or on Youtube!

He has helped countless people in his years of unrelenting good! Even when he claimed to retire, he just would never stop and he will still keep going even now.

Seriously though, as always, if there is a way I can help you, I want to honor his name and do just that for you!

I want to end this with his own words, as he would always say, “You know what to do!”! ❤️💛
