My mother, Velma Hoffine (Rang), is in a Healthcare center and I had no way to take her to the service for Dale. She wants you to know her prayers are with your family.She also has bowled at Secoma lanes for many years until she had a stroke. We admired Dale for his persistance in life. He was never ready to give up. God bless you all.

Papa, I will miss you so much. I so much enjoyed being with you and taking you to church, the store and helping with everything you needed me to do. I know you are at peace with Nana now, but I will miss you with every breath I take. I will remember your humor, smile and your stories of past. Give Nana a hug for me. Cheri...
