Remembering back in time all the treasured moments of Love and Laughter I shared with my second family, the Pallers. Your Parents always made me feel so welcome in your home. I will always hold that dearly in my heart. I offer my Prayers and Love, and always be here for you.

We (DBPD Dispatch) were honored to have worked alongside Mr. Paller (sorry Mr. Paller, we still cant bring ourselves to address you by your first name) for thirteen years. He will always be remembered for his professionalism, dependability and attention to detail that was second to none. He was not only admired for his devotion to his wife and family, but to his DBPD family as well. He was a wonderful man, a gift to us all. He will truly be missed. Our condolences to the family.
