Bishop W. Dale Cryderman

Thinking about Dale rolls the years back. As teenagers, we remember his work with the youth. He was always so inspirational. And we think of him with a smile on his face.

On behalf of Administration, Public Relations and the Pastoral Care divisions of Beaumont Hospital, our deepest sympathies to your family. We are blessed to work with Rik Cryderman daily and know what an influence his father was to his mission in life.

Dear Cryderman family: How long ago it was that we first met in the little church in Albion but how big my memories are of those wonderful times. I can see now your father setting at our kitchen table eating lunch as he loved to stop in for my mother's famous roast beef and yorkshire pudding. He was very instrumental in my father coming to know God as his person Savior. I was just a child then but the wonderful 'pats' on the head were a sign of love of all people. We shall miss him but...

Bill and Sharon, our deepest sympathy goes out to you and the whole family. I have many memories of Dale while growing up in the Free Methodist Church. More precious ones are during camp meeting times. He will have many stars in his crown and my life is richer for knowing him. God Bless you all in your loss and your rejoicing of his home going.

Dale served as pastor of the Albion Free Methodist Church during World War II. He was also an excellent photographer, and took the photographs for the Union Steel Messenger magazine (Albion)for many years. He was a patriarch of the Church and will be greatly missed, as well as fondly remembered.

We send our deep sympathies to each in the family. We regret we will be away at the time of the memorial service. Bishop Dale & ALL of the family are very special to us. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. Doc & Millie.
