Not sure what to say?

I've known Dal for about 30 or so years and kept in touch via e-mail through all but the last weeks of his life. So many good times; so many shared confidences; so much love between us that I can only smile for all of life we shared and not cry for all I'll miss him.

Dal was one of my best friends in high school. We kept in touch by e-mail. I had just been thinking that I hadn't heard from him for awhile,(unusual for him)when Glenna called to tell me of his death. I'm so sorry - I didn't know he was ill. I'll miss knowing he's there and our correspondence.

I met Dal in 2003 in Honolulu at the Center for Positive Living where we became good friends and stayed connected closely through the years. I wish I could have been there with him in his last month to let him know how much I loved him and cared about him. I miss his emails and his summers here in Honolulu. He was truly a man with a giving heart and love of things spiritual! I'm happy to have been in his life as a friend he knew he could count on. May he now know the answers he sought to...

I met him later in his life, he will be missed. We talked about his love for Frank, now they can be together.

Dale was one of my closest pals in high school, and I will always cherish fond memories of our friendship.
