Dale contacted me when we first moved to Salem 20+ years ago because we shared the same last name. We spoke several times over the years but never learned how we might be related. While we did not know him well, he was a very kind person who reached out to us just to say welcome, and checked in on us over the years. Our thoughts and prayers to Dale's Family and Loved ones. Jeff Van Laanen and family, Salem Oregon

Praying for you Jessie and your family. Dale was such a nice man. Always willing to help when you needed it. I always thought a lot of him and know he will be celebrating Christmas with Jesus.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
