Dale's Memory Wall

Dale Balke was a man of many talents and abilities. He could build or fix just about anything, and he did a good job of it. He had an eye for detail and he was an avid reader. Dale was a good friend to me. When I was down, he was there with a smile and a word of encouragement. I am grateful for that. Rest in peace, Dale. You will be missed. Fondly, "Joycee"

Dale was a good man. I dont think Dale new but he was a pretty possitive influince on me. years ago when he lived on cr 384 in south haven Dale had a garden and i thought that was the coolest thing. Dale showed me the different plants to put on the outside to keep the animals out he showed me what rows of plants should go next to each other and man did he have that garden organized. I think since then i probley have grown something every year in some sort of garden. I think that is a pretty possitive influince. Probably from now on when ever im in the garden i will think of Dale. The good thing is that we all know that Dale is in a better place. I will miss him

We met Dale in 2008 when he rented an apartment from us. He was a good tenant and stayed there until he started renovating a house where he, his Mother and his Sister would eventualy move. Dale did good work and we hired him for a number of painting jobs and he did various jobs also for the Scott Club. He was a friend and we will miss him. Our prayers are with the family.
