The Hill Family Sterling, CO | | As I think of Dale, I think of the times as a child when I would go to the farm and marvel at the vastness and how the nites where so bright you could see the cattle in the field and am reminded of the times Dale and I experienced as youth; the tire blowing out while speeding down the gravel road, we hit that barditch very hard laughing all he way; the coyotes hunts we made; the cattle drive, so I called it I think it was only a couple miles down the road; the time Dale was plowing a said come on make a round with me, an hour later we had completed one round. Dale and I had fun as children, however, life got in the way as adults. Smiling, I have and will continue to think of him often. Gary Ray Rowland | | We are very sorry to hear about your loss.

Love, A.Emily | | I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with all the family at this time. I have fond memories of Dale but the one that stands out right now is when he was over at our house in Cushing and he took a big bite out of a jalapeno pepper saying that it wouldn't be too hot for him. Well it was too hot. Dale ran into the kitchen put his head under the facet and turned it on. He drank as much cold water as he could to put out the fire in his mouth. He will be greatly missed. May the peace of God comfort you during this time of sorrow. Darla Standridge |
