I have many fond memories of my "Uncle Dale" growing up and most of all when he invited his brother Harold and I to Alaska to fish the Kenai. He loved Alaska and every year traveling up from Washington to go fishing he would tell me stories of his adventures and his friends around the state. Thank you for the life experiences and I will always keep a special place in my heart for you. My you rest in peace.

I worked with Siggy in Alaska and then down in Vancouver, WA when our department was transferred. He had a huge heart and would give you the shirt off his back. Definitely one of a kind!!

Siggy, ol' Friend. We're going to miss your wonderful way of making folks laugh. We had some fun times together building the Alaskan telephone network.
You're laughing with the best of them now. Keep them happy 'till we can laugh again together.

I've missed you since I left Elmendorf/Anchorage back in 1970... I will always remember the laughs we had over you getting mad at me when I called you a Lifer. The few times that we played golf here, and the few times we spoke on the tele.
Thank You Siggy for your service to Our Country, and for your Friendship.
Rest In Peace My Friend.
