Jayne, Daniel and Michael,

I am truly sorry for your loss and want you all to know that my thoughts are with you in this difficult time. Dale was a wonderful person and will be missed by many. I will never forget the times that I was blessed to have spent with all of you. Always remember the good times you had with him, for he will always be there in your memories. If there is anything that I can do please do not hesitate to let me know.

I was deeply saddened to hear about Dale's passing. My sympathy and prayers go out to his family.

When I first met Dale we instantly became friends as we shared musical interests, which led to the forming of a rock band--appropriately titled "The Sit Down Basement Band." Dale demonstrated the majority of the talent with his ability to play guitar and write lyrics.

Years later, we served as each others' best man at our weddings--only one week apart.

I knew Dale as a very caring and compassionate person and someone you could rely on during difficult times. He will be missed.

Jayne,

It was 30 years ago that we shared our weddings in consecutive weeks--with Dale as best man in our wedding and Paul as best man in yours. Though we have been separated by distance and time, Dale's name will often come up in conversation as Paul fondly recalls their youth as best of friends.

We are terribly sorry for your loss and pray for comfort for you and your family.
