To Dale's family, but especially Cathy, Diana, Anna, Bobbie and Goria, whom I knew and grew up with, my heart goes out to you. You all bring back good memories of such happy and fun times. Please keep in mind that you will see him again in the resurrection, although it won't take away the pain you feel now. Love to you all

Bonnie & Family...May your hearts be comforted by the wonderful person you all love, & who was a part of your lives. He is Uncle to my cousins, & a dear friend, to friends of mine, who worked with him for over 30 years at NWC. They thought the world of Dale. In 1963 at AHS, Dale sat behind me in biology class, he was the nicest guy & always made me laugh.
At this time, may the special memories you all share & hold dear, bring you peace, for he will be remembered in heart & thought always.

My family will continue to pray for all of you. Time helps ease some pain, but unfortunately time seems to go so slow right now. Maklaren will surely miss her other grandpa.

Bonnie, My heart goes out to you and your family at this time of sorrow. I enjoyed working with Dale for 27 years at Northwest Metals. He was more a good friend rather than a boss ~ he always came out to the shop to see how I was doing and always had a personal interest in what I had to say. He always believed and supported me in my abilities. I considered him a priceless friend and will greatly miss him.

February 6, 2011

Bonnie, our heart goes out to you and all of your family at this time of sorrow. I truly enjoyed the 23 years we worked together. Dale was a true joy and we accomplished much together.
