Dale R. Peterson

To the family; I wish you peace and comfort in knowing that Dale knows how much he’s loved.
I didn’t have the honor of knowing Dale for very long; however, getting to know him over the short time that I did; I can see why he is so important to so many.
Dale’s legacy is profound. For a soft spoken man; he sure knew a lot of people-and they were drawn to him like a magnet.

I became friends with Dale and Craig in high school, and shared some of the most meaningful moments of my life with them. Dale was very thoughtful, intelligent, and kind, with a sharp sense of humor. We had so many long conversations together, and I was always left with much to reflect on. Watching our lives go in their own directions over the past few decades, one thing that really impresses me about Dale’s path is how many different kinds of people he connected with. I think each person’s experience of who he was (is) has been unique, and yet Dale seemed to be genuine with all. That is a very rare quality.
I sure miss you, Dale.

Sandy and Craig,
My heart breaks for you and for Dale as there was no greater love than the love you all shared for each other not only during this time but always. There are no words except there is no way anyone can understand the loss you are feeling and will feel as losing Dale will forever change your lives.
Love
Janet Nelson Andres

I knew Dale for over forty years and shared some of the best times of my life with him. Dale was a awesome friend and like a brother to me. He will be missed by me more than he will ever know. Rest in peace Dale and know i will always be thinking of you and remembering all of the great times we shared together. Love you forever Dale, your friend Greg.

Losing a child is the hardest thing that can happen. Dale was a great son and brother to Craig . Im not sure how to go on without him. I have now lost my husband and my oldest son in a year and a half Life is not fair..Dale didnt deserve to die so young . He was loved by many people for his sense of humor and his caring for others. My heart ached every day as I watched him slip away from the cancer that took his life. I am happy I could care for him along with Craig and the wonderful people from Centra Care Hospice. The pain is over for Dale but the pain Craig and I fill over losing him will be with us forever. Rest in peace my beautiful boy..I will love you forever Mom

Craig and family, we were so sorry to hear of Dale’s passing. Jerry has fond memories of playing basketball with him. We know you were very close as brothers. Know that you are in our prayers, and that Dale is safe in God’s arms until you meet again.

So sorry for your loss.

Dale, every second of the day, I can’t process that you’re gone and I feel so lost without you. Please, look for me when I call out your name. I miss you like half of me is gone. I consider myself EXTREMELY special to have ever had the opportunity to call you brother. My heart isn’t just broken, it’s been obliterated. Look for me, signal me, never stop loving me, I can never stop loving you. May you find peace and do anything in the world your heart desires. You most certainly gave so much to others, now, it’s time for you to receive the greatest gift of all, the hand of god’s love. Say Hi to all our relatives, friends, and anyone we loved that’s gone before you. I’ll see you again, my lovely sweetheart. Go shoot some hoops, tee off, catch a nice walleye, enjoy Halloween 50.4, and just live it UP. I will never leave your side. Any life’s I have left, really won’t care for them IF you’re not my brother.
