"We are so sorry for your loss. Dale was always strong and confident, no matter what his pain level. Always willing to help others . We will miss our many discussions about Michigan and Florida condos.

"The last time Dale and I worked together was the spring of 2017. I remember him saying something to the effect that he and I seem to end up in the same places and we would probably meet up again, somewhere, sometime. Except for one brief chat as he was out walking Carmel, our paths haven't crossed since, and that makes me sad.
I worked with Dale for a couple of years at Bredeweg and then again at Integrity. His spunky wit and kindness are sure to be adding joy to those in heaven, just as he added joy to office life. I'm looking forward to meeting up again with Dale, but until then I will miss him. He was one-of-a-kind and I am fortunate to know him.
Cindy, my heartfelt sympathy and prayers go out to you and your family. May it bring some comfort for you to know that Dale's light will keep shining in many hearts!"

Peace is finally here for Dale, but you are left behind to miss him, to heal, to look forward to that day of happy reunion. We pray for strength, comfort, and peace for you at this time, and in the days ahead. Love, Bruce & Cherie Harder"

I am sorry I never met him, but from what Clark and Aunt Judy have shared, he sounds like a wonderful man. If there's anything at all we can do for you, please do not hesitate to ask. We love you!"
