God called My Brother on Aug 17th 2010.

To those who loved my brother so much, it seems like the clouds of sadness will never leave. This picture was taken the very evening that Dale had been laid to rest.

The Niagara Fire trucks escorted and stopped the traffic on HWY #2.

His Boots!

His loving children wanted his boots there, filled with flowers reminding us of the beautiful promise of Resurrection. No one will ever be able to fill the boots of a husband to Kathy, father to Angela, Amber and Jamie, a son to my aged parents, and a brother to me. A grandfather to his 16 mo old grandson Brayden, brother-in-law, uncle, cousin, nephew, friend, the list goes on and on.

My dad placed a mint on the casket as Dale always had his mints in his pocket to get him through the day.

From fellow hunters.

Notice the bullets on the casket.

Memorial Flowers from Falin's, Baker's and Sutton's.

The lilies remind us of Jesus word in Matthew6, . . . and why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, ... verse 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. . . . verse 34 "There
fore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.

Below are the last pictures I took of my brother.

They were taken the first week in August when we spent the week at my parents to visit family and friends.

Notice how the sun is shining on this first picture, I didn't notice it until now. The "SON" Jesus said, I am the light of the world. If you want to read about what He tells us, its in John 8, starting at verse 12.

I hope you enjoy these final pictures as much as I have.

Give thanks for the years we did have with Dale.

What a blessing!

We will all miss Dale very much on this side of Heaven.

Eternity is forever!
