I spent many hours bucking bales at the Reeser farm and riding around in Dale's dad's 1960 Chevy on Saturday nights. I have missed Dale at the school reunions these past years.

Sending our love to your whole family. I will always cherish my happy childhood memories of my cousin Dale on the farm in Washington with his parents and the fun visits we had when he lived with his mom, my Aunt Ellen. God bless you from Bonnie (Netherton) and Tim Mitchinson and family.

Dale,
Such great memories, such great times. You shall be missed by all your old friends here in Washington. Larry Fellhauer and I were so fortunately to be part of your wedding. I shed tears for you, buddy.

I am so sorry for your great loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" (Isaiah 61:1, 2) sustain your family during this challenging time. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.
