Dex will always be in our thoughts and memories. We shared many happy times and adventures back in those early ADFG days at Kodiak. We will miss him greatly.

To Daria and her family, I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how difficult this can be and am glad that you have each other, many friends and family members to help you through it. If there is anything I can do at all, please do not hesitate to ask. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I worked with Dexter for 5 years in Port Moller in the early '80s and found Dexter to be a fair and honest boss. Wherever Dexter went in Port Moller...he was usually accompanied by his brown lab. I remember when the lab fell into a fish holding tank, it was quite a site.
I was sorry to hear of Dexter's passing and my thoughts are with his family.

Toi the family of Dexter: My parents, Nels and Christine Gilberg, were old friends of Dexters parents. We spent many Sunday afternoons drving to Lake Stevens for a visit and, more often than not, also dinner. Sandra and i were the same age and her older brothers always seemed so grown up and handsome! I want to say how sorry for all of you I am in this great loss. Karen Gilberg Trana
