I remember Dale and Judy from way back. They stayed with us in California, and we stayed at their home in Chippewa Falls. We always had a good time together. Judy and Dale lived a true love story. It was very apparent watching the two of them interact whenever we stayed with them. Dale was funny, and had a quick wit about him. One I remember in particular was on a trip to San Diego on Good Friday. Judy wasn´t talking, and when I asked why, I was told Catholics observed 3 hours of silence on Good Friday. No sooner was that said, when Dale piped up and said, " that´s the only time I get peace and quiet all year!" Dale was fun to be around. He was truly an all around good guy, and he is going to be missed.
