Dear Mrs. Haverman, Rick, Gary and Renee:
I want to express my sincere condolences on the passing of Dale. As you know Dale and I spent a lot of time together during our grade school and high school years, burning Edding Lane between your house and mine. I spent a lot of time at your home. We had some very good times together---road bikes/motorcycles, played baseball and football in the vacant lots, camped out in the neighborhood, listened to music at both of our homes, and just basically hung out a lot together. Rick was part of our good times as well.
Dale was a good friend of mine growing up and I will never forget the good times we had. I will always cherish these times and remember them. Many remember Dale as a great basketball player which he undoubtedly was, but he was a very good athlete overall, and more importantly, a good person and friend.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Bob Lemen
