May your dad rest in peace. Dale was a great man. He is now at home with God and my Doug and I bet they are catching on old times. Along with our many firefighters we have lost the past few years.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. God Bless

Dale and Dory were a big part of our lives for many years here in Arizona and they are deeply missed. Jack was especially fond of Dale and admired him as a fireman as they worked together for so many years.

We have lost of lot of our precious firefighter friends this past few years but know that they are together refighting those fires, like they always did when they got together, and probably commandeering a fire engine from God to drive around heaven. God Bless them all!

Rest Dale, until you hear at dawn,
the low, clear reveille of God.

Thank you for your service to this nation.
