Dale W. Petersen

Dale's strength touched so many hearts, so many lives. Dale will never be forgotten. Even by those of us who never met him - but knew him through his cousin Laurie's incredible writing.

I never knew Dale, but I was touched by his cousin Laurie's document of his courageous battle. He inspired me with his bravery and with his ever open heart, even in his most difficult days.

My prayers and sympathies are with the entire family.

to Dan & all of Dale's family. In my life I have not had a better friend than my lunch buddy Dale. He didn't realize what an impact he had made on the world until he got sick & that realization was a true blessing for him. He faught the disease so hard that he made all of us who knew him believe that by a sheer act of the will he would beat it. He was there for me when I needed the support of a friend, I just hope he knew how much it meant to me. He was good & kind & I am proud to say he...

I would like to send my condolences to Dale's family. I'm so sorry that I missed Dale's funeral. I was out of town and got the news too late. He was a great guy and I will miss him. 12th Street West just won't be the same anymore. Bert Foreman

Dale was a great guy; he loved jazz and working on rebuilding his antique car. He was a really good friend. He will be missed by more people than he ever knew; there will always be a spot for him in my heart. He fought hard and I am very proud of him. I miss you, Dale.

Dan, So sorry to hear of your loss. I understand that it has been a very rough year. Things can only get better. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
