I was saddened to hear of Dale's passing. Have many fond memories of him as we worked several years together in Radio (then WIS-Radio). We had so many laughs that were all due to Dale's many pranks on the entire sales staff -- no one escaped him! He will truly be missed. My prayers go out to the entire family!

I was shocked and saddened to hear the news of the sudden loss of this dear man. Dale was a wonderful addition to our summer mission team to Guatemala, with intent to return and continue support to the people there this coming year (sigh). He especially made an impact on the village children and sponsored a sweet little boy who was drawn to his friendly, upbeat nature. Dale's big and burly stature surrounded a tender heart with a desire for others to know Jesus. I am sorry to not have opportunity for future conversations with him about God's goodness, but know that he has been entrusted into our Heavenly Father's care. Prayers of comfort continue to be lifted for the family's loss...
