Not sure what to say?

My mother, Rose Joshua, was the Hadassah woman who brought her cast iron "Bundt" pan to Mr. Dalquist for replication.

She fondly remembers Mr. Dalquist's graciousness then, and we, the next generation, can vouch that he truly possessed that quality.

Just a year or so ago, Mr. Dalquist kindly wrote my mother and all her children letters recalling the "historic" meeting and sent us each a shiney new Aluminum Bundt pan so we can keep the tradition going.

Uncle Dave, I am so lucky to be apart of this family and to have had the chance to know you. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Pam (Staugaard) Blanchard

Michelle and I had the pleasure of meeting Dave and Dotty Dalquist @five years ago while conducting business with NordicWare. As a result of getting to know Dave, Dotty and their son David and his family we were introduced to Madeline Island and the beautiful Apostle Island region. Since that time we have taken our three children on a family vacation that included a visit to Madeline Island so they could experience the area. Dave's love of his family, his business and boating has left a...

Our sympathy goes out to all the Dahlquist family, and especially to
Tom & Susan Brust & children, who we've met and outfitted many times. The loss of a parent is never easy to accept, especially one so loved.

Cathi & David at Bear Track Outfitting Co.

Dave was an amazing person to work for and to know. I feel honored to have worked for him for so many years. He treated everyone he knew with respect. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew and loved him.

As a former long-time employee of Northland Aluminum Products, I have never forgotten what a warm, kind, and respectful man Mr. Dalquist was.

My deepest sympathy to the entire Dalquist family.

Sincerely,

My prayers are with your family. He was a great man. I'm honored to know him.

I met Dave a few years ago. He asked me to come out to his home on Lake Superior and do a market analysis for him. He wasn't interested in selling and was just wondering what the place was worth. I ended up staying for more than 2 hours just visiting with him about many different subjects. I will always remember what a kind and interesting man he was. I still think of him often.
My heartfelt condolences to the Dahlquist family.

My deepest sympathy to Mrs. Dalquist and her family. I took great comfort from David jr. and David Sr. at my mother's (Catherine Tobin) funeral almost two years ago. The affection they (and all the Nordic Ware family) had for my mother gave our family smiles and peace in our mourning.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you in your loss.
