  • I just found out that Dale passed away. I am so sorry I missed his memorial service. My heart goes out to all his family and friends. Forry & Hacker was my first employer in printing and I am forever grateful for the opportunity Dale gave me. I made life long friends there and enjoyed seeing Dale’s love of his family and faith. He was a very special person and I will always admire his dedication and giving to others. He will be missed in the present, but will be in our hearts forever.

  • Dear “Cuz”:

    I am so very sorry. I feel so bad for you. I can only imagine the past seven years were the best years of your life. I have another commitment on Saturday but hope to make an appearance. It would be so great to see you. You have my love, support and prayers. It’s hard but you are a strong person. Keep the faith. Love you. I lost my Mother (95) in August and her companion died 3 weeks after her.
