Dale loved and depended on our Lord Jesus Christ. His Bible was well worn. Circumstances in Dale’s life might have caused others to feel bitterness or self-pity, but not him. When he couldn’t keep up with the days, he still was able to read God’s Word. He had a servant’s heart! His last words were “For God so loved the world.” He met his Savior hearing some of his favorite Psalms.

Pallbearers will be Aaron Rankin, Delwin Peacock, Robert Borchgardt, Jeff Looper, Matt Harkins
and Ron Beverly.
