Dear Kay and Family,
I read Dale's notice in the Times this morning. I'm so glad you have a guest book because I did not have an address to send you my condolences. I'm thinking of you and your family at this difficult time. I remember our years together, and I still think of you when I look over at your house. Take care. Sheila

Kay, what a gentle giant of a man.
His voice at the yacht club on issues were important, to sailing around the waters, controlling the helm to seeing him at Steinman's grocery every morning around 6ish.
I thought of him as as a true friend and a proud original member of the Syndi~Cat group.
Peace always
