My sincerest sympathy to you all in the loss of Gale. I remember Gale as a great guy and neighbor here in Boone. I ran around with his sister Judy and was at there house many, many times. He was always a lot of fun to be around and I am sure he will be missed a lot. May God Bless and Keep you all and may you always have many great memories of Gale.

Dear Jenny, Chris, Liz and all the family.
Please know how sad we feel upon the death of your dear husband and father, Gale.
He was an enduring gentleman who took his role as father and husband
very seriously. God has received him into the Kingdom of heaven, for
he loved God much and served God with sincerity and fidelity.
See you at the funeral in Des Moines.
May you have peace!
