Judy and family,

I am so sorry. Dale was the finest southern christian gentleman that i have ever known. I know the angels are rejoicing as he is welcomed home and God has greeted him with "welcome home, my good and faithful servant". He was the epitome of husband and father and I know that he will be missed greatly. My prayers are with you all.

Love, Mary Altman

Judy, this is Barbara who worked with you in ICU years ago. I was so sorry to hear of your loss of Dale. I always remember you calling him to check on the girls when we were at work. I always thought that he was so good to look after the girls so you could work. I will keep you and your girls and their family in my prayers.

Judy and family,
Dan and I were honored to know Dale through the Bible Study we attended at the Chanaca's a few years back. He loved the Lord with all his heart and that showed through everything he did. We learned so much from him. He had such a gentle spirit about him and will be missed by all those that knew him. May God give you strength and hold you in the palm of his hands as you go through this time of sorrow.
