I was so sorry to hear about Dale's passing. I enjoyed working with him at the Des Moines Radio Group. He was ALWAYS such a happy, positive, nice guy at work. Every Valentine's Day he would bring the office staff chocolate strawberries and he would make sure I received some in the marketing office as well. You're all in my thoughts and prayers.

I will miss you Big Dale. I'm so thankful to have been your daughter-in-law for 34 years. The wonderful memories I have I will cherish and pass on to your great grandson Jackson and Baby Ranniger that will arrive in May. Love you to the moon and back!
