    Bobbie,
    You have my deepest sympathy at your loss of Dale. Dale and I worked together when he was an operator on 16J extruder at 3M and I was writing the documentation. We were also on the Discipleship Team at church together. I remember Dale helping with the yard work at church also. He will be sadly missed.

    Family of Dale:
    So sorry to hear of Duke’s (Dale) passing. I worked with him in various jobs at 3M until Duke retired. He was a great friend and coworker. I will surely miss him. When meeting him on the street or just about anywhere, he always had a heartwarming smile and wonderful things to say. Peace be with you and family. Prayers of comfort to all of you.

    Roberta and family, I heard of Dale’s passing through our friend Gene Ebnet. My heart goes out to you, dear Roberta. Dale was a great man and friend. I was so blessed to have reunited with him in his last years of life. We shared the gifts of same age, love of singing and especially love for the Lord Jesus Christ. It saddens me greatly to see him leave this life for heaven, but Dale is in a MUCH better place now, away from the suffering and pain he experienced while battling this cancer. I will miss him greatly, but I hope to still maintain contact with you, Roberta. Your friend always, NJ Malenke (Cypress, TX)
