I went to Dale’s memorial service yesterday. It was really quite a nice service. One thing that became abundantly clear was how much this man was loved by his friends and family. He was know for his sense of humor, his passion for cooking, and his passion for helping others. It made me even more sad that he died, because it was obvious that there were many things I would have liked about him had I gotten a chance to get to know him better.

After the service I did get a chance to finally meet his husband Jeremy. Jeremy was a really nice man and I feel bad for his loss. They were apparently only married for a short time before Dale died.
