Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Dale,When I returned to town I learned of your loss. I am sorry I was not able to be at the service today. You are such a special person to me and as I think back about all the years you put up with me and taught me the lessons of planning. I have told many people of the fall you took one year when Dorsey pulled up and you come out and hit the ice and slid all the way down to the car, it was at least funny to watch. I also remember bringing you and Rachel a bushel of peaches from the orchard don’t know if I ever knew what you did with them. Lots of good memories from the Beech days and I hope you can relish the memories you and Rachel shared. If I remember you called her Rach. Hang in there dear friend. I will be thinking of you
