Messages of Condolence


I am deeply saddened to learn about Dale's death. Over the years, I lost track of Dale, but I have thought of him often since our Houston Pizza days. He was one of the kindest, gentlest people I have ever known. I am happy to know that he found life and love in BC. I have a lot of good memories of Dale - I always hoped our paths would cross again and we'd have time to catch up. My sincere condolences to all of Dale's family. You will be in my thoughts. Saying goodbye is the hardest thing we ever have to do. I hope the good memories bring you comfort, strength - and peace. Krista ~ Krista Christensen
