I worked with Dale about a year in the early 90s. Thoroughly enjoyed the time, he was honest, hard working and fun. Even heard the one about hunting speed goats in Oregon, recently have run into others that worked with him on many buildings around Redding. He is well remembered

Shirley, Don and family, I'm orginally from Weed and I am so sorry to hear about Dale passing away. I knew him because I had his mom for a teacher when I was in the 5th grade. I grew up knowing them through Sports, etc. I always thought they were great people...Again I am very, very sorry for your loss...
Sincerely,
Kathy Aquila-Willett-North Bend, Oregon

Dear Aunt Shirley and to all of our family across California and the United States.....we, the Taylor clan living in Turkey, too are deeply saddened by the loss we all share in having to say goodbye to Dale. We all know how special of a husband, father, brother, and uncle he was to all of us. I am so thankful for the short visit we shared back in November at a restaurant in Red Bluff. This will leave a lasting memory and image in my mind until we are reunited before God in Heaven. One of Dale's strongest qualities, as I knew him, was his kindness. He reflected God's character very well in this way. It reminds me of the verse in Romans..."It is the kindness of God that leads you to repentance." Tomorrow, on February 11, as many of you will be celebrating the life of our dear Father, Husband, Brother, and Uncle, we here in Turkey will be thinking and praying for you all and the occasion itself. May God Himself, meet you in this moment of great sadness, but also, of great joy, as we know Dale in a place he has been longing for his whole life...in Heaven with his Savior Jesus Christ for all eternity.

Forever in my heart....Your Niece, Lindsey
