From Spencer, Iowa
We have known Dale and Lois since their early days in Spencer.
Alise and our daughter Kim were born about the same time. We
visited them several times in AZ. Each time it was like we
just continued our friendship tho' several years had passed.
We also enjoyed e-mail back and forth in the later years.
We are happy they were able to spend their recent years with
family, also during the many hard times of health issues.
Thank you for keeping in touch with us.
Earl has recuperated from his heart attack in Jan. 2008 tho'
it took almost a year.
We celebrated our 60th anniv. last August.
Give our love and sympathy to Lois and Alise and Terry.
In Christian Love.....Verla, Earl and James Klaessy

Dale and Lois were neighbors in Arizona when my mom and dad lived there. Dad and Dale shared a love of the computer and would send jokes and keep each other updated. When my dad passed, Dale and Lois were so kind and truly saddened that dad was gone. Dale kept in touch with my mom when she moved back to Alaska with us. He was a very kind and caring man. Lois and his children were lucky to have such a wonderful father and husband. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the family and know that dad and Dale are probably catching up!

May the Lord comfort you and give you strength and peace in this difficult time. My memories of Dale and you, Lois, are brief, but very sweet. I remember visits and playing together with Terry & Alise. I heard the story all my life about how you cared for me when Ellen was born! I can still hear Dale's wonderful voice in my memory. He was a dear friend to my Dad, as both of you were to my parents as friends. May the Lord bless you greatly in the days ahead, and may you sense His presence.

I've known Dale for 39 years while merchandise managers in the Sears
Fashion Distribution Center in Chicago. A good friend, always knew
what was going on in the world of business. He took me and my wife
for a ride in his plane one time and enjoyed the flight. He was well
respected by many in the clothing world. We enjoyed have dinner with him and Lois whenever they came into the Chicago area after our retirement.
A good man, a good friend a sad loss. enjoy the flight Dale.

Our sincere sympathy to Dale's loving family. I met Dale 11 years ago when Las Palmas Computer club was forming. He was so knowledgeable, and what a friend he did become. He always spoke so loving of his family. An email story was always returned with a msg "We needed a laugh today!". It was a shock to open email with the msg he had gone to be with the Lord. May the Lord comfort you all, as you hold on to precious memories.
