Dale will never be forgotten. I imagine him laughing up in heaven and telling a good story. He always loved to learn so he probably has lots of questions for God. If anything needs fixing up there he is probably trying to figure it out. He was a man of many talents! I miss you Dale.

I just recently found out about Dales passing. He was a very good friend, neighbor, and coworker. If Dale was your friend, then indeed you had a Good friend. He so loved the Lord. He was an inspiration to me. I know when Dale passed thru the Gates of Splendor, Christ said "Well done my faithful servant." Rest in peace my good friend. Love you and your family, Ken Brown ...

Marcia. Some of my fondest memories are from my early years at WCCN. Well over 20 years ago. Sitting around that big table in the kitchen on Sunday mornings. Dale - Pastor Ed - Dana and others. Wonderful fellowship and such good times. Sat in some not so easy board meetings with Dale as well. His gentle spirit has left a deep impression upon me. And the many times of laughter. Will be very much missed. Someday we will all sit around that big table again. Praising -singing - laughing. Honored to have been Dales friend.

Dear Marcia,
I want you to know how much I love and respect Dale. He was one of the first members I meet when I came here 20 years ago. Even then over coffee and doughnuts in the gym, I could tell when he asked me how I was, he really meant it! They were not empty words to him because he wanted to see if there was anything he could pray for you about and give advice or encouragement on. He would always place his hand on my shoulder and make me feel like I was one of his own sons. He really cared and I could feel that and tell. I can remember him playing the trumpet in the church orchestra. He sat right next to me outside my cage and we would joke and carry on cutting up. I loved looking to my right and seeing him give me a smile or thumbs up while playing. I loved to listen to him in our men's Thursday night group as he gave his insight on The Word or topic being discussed. I will
also never forget how you and Dale surprised me with some help when I was going through my back surgeries. I wish to thank you again for that. It left a lasting impression on my walk and compassion for others that I try to emulate in my life by the example given.

Dear Marcia and family, my heart grieves with you and for you. And even though I haven't seen Dale in a few years, I will always count him as a dear and special friend.

I'm very sorry for the loss of your husband, father, and friend. Dale had the gift of laughter. He cared about others and was always lending a helping hand. If anything needed done he was always at the top leading the way. He loved church and was present when the doors were open. He had wisdom and was always ready to listen and give advice. Dale also had the ability to make you feel valued. I loved watching him be a part of the Easter pageant. He was a fun person and he loved his family fiercely. He had a strong love for God and he was loved. I will greatly miss Dale.
