I will truly miss Dale's wit, grin, great sense of humor, and storytelling. I will always remember Dale and my Dad trying to best each other with tales of their past adventures and hearing stories of Dale and Lenora's four-wheeling escapades all over the state along with my Mom and Dad. As scoutmaster of Troop 205, Dale had a positive impact on the lives of many young men, including my brother. I'm so glad both of our families were involved in Boy Scouts, as it led to a life-long friendship for our family with Dale and Lenora. Dale and Lenora were a great example of how a marriage should work. The deep love they shared was very apparent. Dale will be sorely missed.

Thinking of you in your loss. Those we love are always with us. Their laughter, their wisdom, and their thoughtfulness are gifts of love that are ours to keep. May the gifts of Dale help console you now, and fill your heart with their comforting warmth.
