Dale will always be remembered as the person to call on when there was a need to be met. Even though he suffered much pain in his body, he was always available to accept a new challenge. Dale has left a good example for us to follow. Deepest sympathy to Helen and family members.

My heart goes out to all of Dale's family. I was his next door neighbor for many years. He was such a great guy and loved his boat. My condolances.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I have fond memories of good times spent in your home on E 38th Ct. My introduction to hot hard boiled eggs with butter! Yummy - I enjoy them to this day. Draw on the many happy memories I'm sure you all have.

I have many fond memories of the times we were at your home. We so much enjoyed the sun porch and fireplace. Dale was there to help with the young ones in the nursery and was always in his place in the back row of the sanctury. My dad loved visiting with Dale about fishing and such in the kitchen class. He will be truly missed at the monthly gatherings of the former Calvary Baptist Church group.

Dale so enjoyed the Calvary children. He gave them all State quarters as soon as they came from the mint! He and Helen faithfully brought their grandchildren to church every single Sunday except when they were in sunny Florida.
