We wish to offer our condolences to all of you. We know what you are experiencing having travelled the same path when our Rick (Dale’s) cousin passed away last October. May God give you the strength to endure this loss.

Dear Natalie and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have nothing but great respect for Dale. He was such an understanding and empathetic person. Working for him taught me to be a better person.
Everyone was an equal in his eyes.
He had great love and respect for his family, friends and co-workers.
Unfortunately due to illness I cannot attend the service but my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
God bless and may he Rest In Peace amongst all the angels in heaven.
