Mrs. Shaffer, Jeff, & Goose
I grew up as a boy living down the street from your house and the memores and lessons given to me by Dale Sr. will be with me forever.
One of the proudest days in my life was to hear Dale Sr. refer to me as one of his best friends to a family member. I will always love and miss him !

Dale was a very special man and will be missed greatly. My prayers are with the Shaffer family.
God looked around His garden
And He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon
This earth and saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered, "Peace Be Thine."
He then took you up to Heaven with
Hands gentle and so kind.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you
The day God called you Home.

I met Dale about a year ago when I started working at Cameron Controls, Dale was a terific man who was always giving everything he did his all. He was a fighter and I will miss him very much.
What though Death at times steps in
And calls our Best away ?
What though sorrow seems to win,
O'er hope, a heavy sway ?
Yet hope again elastic springs,
Unconquered, though he fell;
Still buoyant are his golden wings,
Still strong to bear us well.
Manfully, fearlessly,
The day of trial bear,
For gloriously, victoriously,
Can courage quell despair ! Every glorious sight above us,
Every pleasant sight beneath,
We'll connect with those that love us, Whom we truly love till death !

I did not know Dale first-hand, but I did know that Dale was a terrific role model and mentor to my younger brother Michael Jenkins. Mike talked about Dale often. Dale kept a constant eye on Michael and Dale Jr. to insure that they were always out of harms way and not getting into any trouble. He definately had his work cut out for him with these two! During Dale's illness these two boys were able to give back to him all that he did for them. I know the trip that they all made, during Dale's illness, to the country to check on his deer stand and to do some hunting will be a memory that they will always cherish. What a great time they had that weekend! Dale will be dearly missed by his family and friends. Our hearts and prayers are with the Shaffer family and all of those who knew and loved Dale.

I knew Dale from his years at TRW Mission, and he was always a kind and thoughtful co-worker. I heard recently of his fight with cancer, and I am deeply saddened by your loss.

Our family extends our sincerest sympathy in the loss of your loved one. It was a priviledge to work with Dale and to know him.
We were so very sorry to hear of his
passing and know what a loss it is to everyone that knew and loved him.
