I wouldn't say he was the voice of reason, but he definitely offered that all-important alternative view of situations.
I liked Dale too - he was the one person who seemed desperate to retain that sense of law and human decency in a society reduced to chaos.

The books reminded me a lot of Lord of the Flies. Dale is Piggy, Shane is Jack, Glenn is Simon and Rick is Ralph. Not all perfect matches I know but I think you get the point.
