This from John at SMC in case you haven't heard.

"Received this note from Dale's daughter early this morning:

Hi Friends,

It is bitter sweet that I must write you with this news … but my dad has left us to be with Jesus. He passed away late yesterday afternoon following his 10-month battle with lung cancer. My mom was at his side as he peacefully passed which is such an answer to prayer. The funeral will take place in Peshtigo next Saturday (June 2nd), so your prayers for God’s sustaining mercies would be appreciated.

What a journey this has been, but I’m so thankful to God for His strength, love and peace throughout. Knowing that my dad was at peace with His Savior has allowed us to be in a place of peace also. Eternal peace is truly a precious gift and one I’ve learned not to take for granted in these past days.

Thank you again for your concern and support. I pray you are blessed for being a blessing to us :)

In His Care,
Stacey

I was working in the shop today, listening to my favorite radio station just waiting for this song to come on so I would remember who sings it, and go on line and get the lyrics. It fits with the notes that Dale's daughter passed on to John M. Thought I'd share it with you.

by Mark Harris "Wish You Were Here"

Thinking of you Pesh.....

Verse 1

I wanted to tell you how closely I've kept
The memories of you in my heart
And all of the lifetimes that we've had to share
Live even though we're apart

But don't cry for me
'Cause I'm finally free

To run with the angles
On streets made of gold
To listen to stories of saints new and old
To worship our Maker
That's where I'll be
When you finally find me

Verse 2

No don't you be weary 'cause waiting for you
Are wonders that you've never known
Just hold on to Jesus, reach out for His hands
And one day they'll welcome you home
And that's when you'll be
Finally Free
Finally Free

To run with the angles
On streets made of gold
To listen to stories of saints new and old
To worship our Maker
That's where I'll be
When you finally find me

bridge

And all of the dreams that you treasure
Will soon come together
And that's when your sorrow will be tomorrow
And you will rise again

To run with the angles
On streets made of gold
To listen to stories of saints new and old
To worship our Maker
That's where I'll be
When you finally find me

We'll run with the angles
On streets made of gold
We'll listen to stories of saints new and old
To worship our Maker
That's where we'll be
When you finally find me

I wish you were here
I wish you were here



May the shamrocks fall softly. Jim.

Didn't know Dale well except for his presence at the creek, most of the time I wasn't sure how to take his wit (was he serious or pulling our legs?), but whatever...........

Brings a tear to my eye when we lose a fellow man ........ My heartfelt condolences to his family and close friends.

Tony.
