Nancy, I’m so sorry to hear about Dale’s passing. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Nancy,
I am so sorry to learn about Dale. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers! This is a hard time for you but know friends are with you!
Nancy and family…how very missed Dale will be. Our first introduction to Dale was an announcement that “the fish were biting” and he wouldn’t be in church that Sunday. What a way to meet such a delightful man…being a fisherman (not a bad way to spend quality time with another fisherman!). Ed and I hold you dearly in our hearts as you brave the journey you are now facing without your beloved. Those you hold dear will lift you up during your times of tears, laughter, memories, and loneliness. Always remember, you are loved. Our sincere condolences to you and those you hold dear.
Nancy
I am so sorry that Dale has passed. I know he was your soul mate. All that knew him will also miss him. Sandra and I will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Nancy and Family,
So, so sorry for your loss. Dale will be missed by all who knew him. He will also be remembered by all who knew him.. A wonderful man. Condolences from Arizona, Chris and Connie.
Dale was a caring man who helped others without hesitation or regret. I enjoyed the more than 10 years he worked with us at the Arlington Cancer Center and know he will be missed by many around the country who were touched by his generosity. Love to Nancy.
I’ll never forget the day that Dale and Nancy came to the dispatch window at Kemp’s and Nancy said “We here to work for you!” Of course she had a big smile on her face, and a baseball cap on her head. Dale, as big as he was, was somewhere behind her not saying a word.
We soon learned that he was always like that – quiet, tall, smart and when he spoke funny! But he was always in the background – loving Nancy and making her happy.
Nancy and Dale drove for us for years and soon became part of the “Kemp Family”. We love them both and John and I are honored to call them friends.
I’m sure Dale is in Heaven helping kids and loving every minute of it. We miss you Dale. Rest in peace dear friend.
John and Eileen and John-Paul Kemp
