Dale was so loved.
Always full of laughter, music, humor. He loved his family, his wife and his Lord.
I remember him playing along for Sunday services,, camp outs,. Etc. There was the church centennial, where he and everyone dress up ,he played his fiddle in the little band On the back of an old wagon.
He gave of his time and skills to help keep the church plumbing going, driving the old church bus, then a van.
Many good memories.
Praying for Glenda and the family.

Sorry to hear this news- we continue to be in prayer for your family. One of the many things is that Dale loved to play his fiddle in church, labor day campout, & at his home. The joy it brought to others was amazing. So many things that Dale did we didn’t always see as he loved on kids and people in his community. We are so blessed by him and his life. One day I know I will see him again because of his personal relationship with Jesus so until then…

I am feeling so much heartfelt sadness in the loss of Grandpa Dale and am sending much Love from the Bottom of my Heart to Glenda and to Dale’s Family——Still “My Family “ in my eyes & heart. I was always Dale’s “Janice steeeen” and he was always “My Buddy…Ole Gramps”, being the Best Father-in-law to me that one could ever ask for. He always new in his own way, how to show me his undivided love and his love & faithfulness to his Lord. He would stop at work & take me out to lunch quite often, he would stop by just to see how I was doing, he had a special heart for his grandkids. I tried to find him more work thru a sign saying Fill Dirt Wanted, in our spare time. He never forgot that one & still laughed about that one for many years! Such a fun spirit! We would talk & laugh together because of our unique relationship as Daughter-in-law to Father-in-law. My heart goes out to Glenda and Love them both so much. I know he is in Heaven now, tapping his foot and playing the “Ole Violin “ at the feet of Jesus… and I am here holding his precious memories forever in my heart til we can meet together again. Love you Grandpa Dale, From Your “”Jannie””

Glenda, Gary, Cindy, and family
Our most sincere condolences. May God bring peace and strength to your hearts during this sad time and find comfort in His promise to bring back to life those you love who have fallen asleep in death.
(1 Thessalonians 4: 13,14)
We first met Dale and Glenda when we bought the house on 104th avenue where they were living at the time, just before moving into the beautiful brick home behind us. Dale and I were very close. I rode with him on several service calls and he would always share his faith in the Lord with me. We had some great times playing “marbles” and the card game “14”. Dale and Glenda were a part of our card group for many years and we played once a week at each other’s homes. I helped Dale plant 10,000 pine trees in the field behind us, which he later sold for Christmas trees and harvested with his tree truck and planted for other folks.
When Dale was no longer able to drive himself, I drove him to doctors’ appointments, to get their little dog groomed, and other places. When we would get back home, we would exchange hugs and say that we loved each other. It has been heartbreaking these last few years to see the Alzheimer’s disease progress in Dale. I always feared a time would come when he would no longer recognize us.
We rejoice that he has shed the old decaying body and is now home with his heavenly Father, where there are no more tears and no more pain. Keep that fiddle tuned Dale, and we look forward to seeing you again someday. You will never be forgotten dear friend.

Dear Rogers Family,
Oh, the stories! Camping at Rice Lake in Canada was full of fishing, cleaning and frying fish. While out on the lake, Dale could get more tangled than I could. He was blamed for the smallest fish and he is still being blamed for any “minnows” that any of us catch.
In Arizona, Dale loved the people and you had to keep an eye on him. He had cactus stories-like the one that fell on a car in the parking lot. That one was true but I’m not sure about the rest. On trail rides he would ask people we met where the nearest Walmart was. He played in several jamborees at nearby resorts and we couldn’t get enough of his music.
Though we are sad for the loss here on earth, our hearts rejoice that Dale has arrived at his eternal home.

Rogers Family – I am so sorry for your loss but be of good cheer – I know where we will see Dale again. He was never private about his love for the Lord or his Merson family. I was a young child at Merson when Dale would use his God- given talent and play his violin. I was always in awe – he will never be forgotten and I look forward to that Heavenly reunion one day.

Dear family – Dale & Glenda were great friends. They always welcomed everyone into their hearts and home. They enjoyed each other, and Dale loved playing the violin, and/or the good old fiddle tunes. Dale appreciated a good joke, had a healthy sense of humor, and a great laugh! He enjoyed and loved his family. He will be missed. Our heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to each of you. God Bless.

Who can “refrain” from singing praise to our God for the “creative” expression of His love to us in the gift of Dale Rogers.
Thank you Rogers Family for sharing your dad and yourselves with our family and loving our parents like you have.
Isaiah 38:20 could be Dale’s testimony…”The Lord was ready to save me; therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the Lord.”

So sorry Terry and family to hear of the passing of our father. Father’s have a special place in our lives. You know the memories will be with in the places you go, in the thing you do and in your hearts. Wishing you comfort in all the wonderful memories you have shared.

There was never a time that Dale didn’t have a smile on his face, song in his heart and arms ready to embrace. The love of Jesus flowed through every vein in Dale’s body and because of that he touched manys lives with his testimony. I’m so praising the Lord for bringing Dale into our lives, we look forward to the day we will all Worship the Lord together again, for all eternity. We extend our Love and Prayers to Glenda, Gary & Phyllis and family, Terry & Beth and family, Cindy & Ric and family. The memories your dad left are treasures to reflect upon often.

Rogers Family – I am so sorry for your loss but be of good cheer – I know where we will see Dale again. He was never private about his love for the Lord or his Merson family. I was a young child at Merson when Dale would use his God- given talent and play his violin. I was always in awe – he will never be forgotten and I look forward to that Heavenly reunion one day.

Dear family – Dale & Glenda were great friends. They always welcomed everyone into their hearts and home. They enjoyed each other, and Dale loved playing the violin, and/or the good old fiddle tunes. Dale appreciated a good joke, had a healthy sense of humor, and a great laugh! He enjoyed and loved his family. He will be missed. Our heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to each of you. God Bless.
