Heartfelt condolences to Dale's family and friends. Ray and I spent many Canadian vacations with our group of friends, sharing meals and happy hours, and of course, fishing. Dale was a kind, generous man. God speed, Dale

I am shocked and saddened by the news that Dale has passed on to a better place. I smile when I think of him. My sister dated him for years during high school. They grew apart but left fond memories. He then ended up married to a lovely friend of mine Cheryl. What a nice couple they made. 41 years of happy times together. Dale will be missed by many who became friends as he went through life. I will always think of him with a smile on my face. RIP Dear Dale. Darva Oberhofer Boot
