Evelyn and Family,
It seems to be that behind every strong family is a great man. I knew the first time I met Dale that he was exactly that. And we all loved the way that he "minced" his words.....lol. Yeah right. Dale would tell you exactly what he felt. To me, that was his best quality. Straight forward and honest. God did right when he made Dale Zauner. Thank you Dale for all of the laughs and being a good friend to me and my family. My family and I can't...

Dear Evelyn, Duane and Dan and families-
We have so many good memories of Dale and want you to know that we will always be here for you. We were looking forward to your visit to Nebraska this summer. We will never have a family reunion like we have had in the past with Dale always cooking and fixing our favorite beverage. He will be missed but now he is free of pain and will be waiting for all of us to come and see him someday. Evelyn, he was so proud of you and his boys and families. ...
