Dear Joan and family. I'm sorry I wasn't able to attend the memorial service for Dale last week. I'm so glad to have been able to visit with you and him last year. Our family's thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Joan and family. Truly I don't have the right words to say. Joan, this world is such a better place because Dale was here. Sonny and I think the world of you and Dale. Our deepest thoughts and prayers have been with you and your beautiful family. You and Dale are so loved by our family, you have done so many special things for Dad and Mum. How blessed we are to have you in our lives. Our prayer is that our Lord will hold you and your family in His arms next to His heart to help the healing process. We are so very sorry.

Tidwell Family,
I had the pleasure of working with Dale at General Dynamics. First in Diamond Bar then in Pomona. He was a wonderful man, always kind and thoughtful.

My deepest sympathies to his family.

Soar with the eagles, Dale!
