Dear Barry, Jac and Family,

My most sincere and heartfelt sympathies go to you and the family in the passing of your dear Father and Grandfather . It is hard to find words in the deep sadness that I feel. Dale was one of the most Christian men I have ever known. He showed acceptance and forgiveness to so many. On the Westerville Uptown Fourth Friday he was known to have given many of those match box cars away just to see the happy faces of children which warmed his heart. He was a loving husband and devoted to caring for his wife during her long term illness until she passed. I never missed a Christmas Card from him and my children were so loved by him . I have so many happy memories and I will never forget his warm and welcoming smile. He will always have a very special place in my heart.

Sincerely, Bonnie Stern
