Dear Judy and family: Dale was a wonderful husband, father, and friend to many. It was too bad he had to suffer so long before he died and I know, as hard as it was, that you cared for him lovingly and without complaint. For that you and your family can be proud. So many will miss him. Now you grieve a little and then get you some rest so we don’t lose your loving face around McGill. All our love and prayers, The Delroy Thompson family.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss Judy. My sincere sympathy to you and your family. Dale was a good friend, a co-worker, and all around fun guy. He was loved by many. Rest in Peace Dale Green. I know you and my husband Al are up there in Heaven giving each other tips on where to go exploring next while we still on earth are mourning you.
Rest in Peace Dale and say hello to my Grandmother for me. I’m sure she’ll have the coffee ready for your arrival. Semper FI, Sir.
Dale was one of the three men that I consider a brother (other than my own). Although we were separated my many miles, I thought of him often and felt close. Rest in peace my brother til we meet again. Love and prayers to his beloved Judy.
