Dale was one of the first to share his garden with me, let me ask tons of questions, and probably helped feed me more vegetables than I realized as I studied through college. I am now a forever believer in plants grown on my land.
Dale and Leveta were two of the kindest, gentlest people I've ever known. I see why my grandparents liked them so much. When I picture their faces, Dale and Leveta's, they always have a smile.
I was too young to realize how much Dale could do at the time. But after 10 yrs of growing and trying at life, I now see how talented he was. Keeping a big farm afloat on top of the rest of life is hard work. The world has lost someone special with Dale's passing, and it feels like those sort of people are becoming even more rare. Thank you Dale, for sharing your sweet time with us.
My sincerest compassion to the family, always. In mourning with you, Mandy C
