When I was born into North Nampa/Lakeview Church, Dale was already there. An awesome Christian man full of compassion and warmth for others. He always remembered us when we came back to our "home Church" to visit. My prayer is for peace & comfort to Margaret and the family.

Although I never met Mr. Chappell, I heard from his son Ken what an exceptional man he was. My heartfelt sympathies to Ken, Sharon and the entire family.

Dale was a man of dignity and great integrity. My father, Leonard Vieselmeyer, often spoke highly of him and enjoyed doing business with him. Dad referred to him many years ago as his "tax man", since he 'did' his taxes. Dale was also a great neighbor.
Our heart felt sympathy and prayers. Mel & Joyce Baker - for the Vieselmeyer family
