Dale Evan Gehrman

Jeremy and Family,

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dale, I am surely going to miss you. I see you every day....sitting on the porch, watering your flowers and plants, sending off that heavenly aroma from the grill...and always someone so nice to visit with. I've lived next door to you for a very long time. I still remember Jeff sitting out on the front porch when he was sick...I can still see him so clearly. I've watched such a good portion of your life. I spoke so many times to your wonderful parents...and I still miss seeing them come to...

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

I have only the best of memories of my Uncle Dale. Family get- togethers will never be the same. He will truly be missed.

I have many fond memories of Mr (&Mrs) Gehrman starting in Port Hope. I reminded him that he was the first teacher to give me a "C" (it was in handwriting) how our church rang with his organ playing, birthday parties, picnics in Sebeawing,going to the Loons game just to name a few. Hold tight to the wonderful, joyous memories of Mr G, and cherish the thought of knowing he shares in the heavenly banquet with other loved ones that have gone before him.

Mr. Gehrman was truly a wonderful man and he will be in my thoughts and prayers this week as will his family.

I remember Mr. Gerhman most for his love for sports and how he would root for the Pistons, Red Wings and Tigers, rising up out of his chair with exclamation as a point was scored or a run was brought in. I remember travelling with him and his sons to more than one game in Detroit--he was very geneorous of his time and his talents.

I also remember his marvelous train...

If there are angels on earth, Dale was one. He was always there to talk to my son Stephen and I. I would come home from work to see my son sitting on the porch at Dale's house talking to him and watching him cook on the grill. Stephen would come home and tell me how Dale cooked his hamburgs or steaks and tell me that he was going to try it Dales way the next time he cooked. Stephen told me yesterday that Dale was closer to him than his own grandparents. I thank God for Dale being a part of...

The employees of Williams Cheese Co. extend their sympathies. Dale was not only a co-worker but a special friend to many of us. We thought of him often and he will be missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
