Not sure what to say?

how well I remember Dale--then, it was the best of times

Sharon and family, so sorry to hear the news. Dale was one of the good ones. Peace at last.

Just wanted to say how sorry I was to miss Dales service, but as we said to each other many times.... Life is life , and I couldn't make it.
He was such fun and never lost his sense of humor no matter what was happening. Wanted to send my condolences to all of you and say he is without pain or problems now. He was a great guy and person, I'm sure you will miss him, but as we know things can't be the way we want. Some day we will understand the big plan God has for all of us. Again ,...

Fifty-eight years later a name of a really great guy comes smack dab out the past. Funny how vivid the memories remain of Dale from those past decades, while I can't remember where my glasses were place two days ago. While time may consume us--for now he remains a great memory.

"Rest in Peace," Dale--- from GHS Class of 1958.

Every year, Dale joined the little office pools we'd have for college basketball and almost every year, to the dismay & frustration of everyone else, Dale would win.
But even before that, I remember him playing tennis (or the big Spoons games) with my parents & other friends...just the laughter shared during those fun times.
Dale was such a great guy
and will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to have known him.
My loving thoughts & deepest condolences to the Yeager...

I started work at Yeager Hardware as a boy and left as a young man. The knowledge and lessons I learned from Dale have followed me throughout my life. I was blessed to have him as my mentor. Sincerely, Jim Christenson
