I am so blessed the past 18 years to have Dale as my Father-in-law. There are many memories and he will forever have a place in my heart. Phil. 1:21 says "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Dale has gained the best gift ever...eternal life with Christ. God Bless all.

Dale was my brother-in-law but he was my friend, my brother he was the only constant male in my life as I grew up. I have known him since I was 6 years old and I will miss him dearly. I pray he is with my mother and father in heaven and at peace.
