Just learned of Dale´s death. A wonderful man who will be remembered fondly by those of us who shared our days together in Cardio Rehab at Peace Health. The work of the Cowboy poet remains a fixture on my office wall. Gone, but never forgotten..

A good man. A kind man. A disciple of Jesus Christ. Whenever we met at Lewis River Campgrounds, he would greet me and talk with me and make me feel special. Heaven has another angel. Peace to his family.

Condolences to his children and wife. I enjoyed school years with his older daughters. It was great to check on the family as I would walk by their home on my outings. He was a good man.

My deepest sympathy. Dale and Shirley were members of the Lower Columbia Genealogical Society. They took on the job of overseeing the conditions of the Catlin Cemetery. They were both fun to be around.
