Dale and Eileen Grinstead and John and Mary Murray were the first ones to greet and befriend us when we first moved to Florida and visited Southside Assembly of God. They always made us feel welcome and special.

Dale was my bowling buddy and a good friend. We could and did talk about anything and everything. He would do a great happy dance when he got a strike! It was an expression of great joy and fun to watch. Imagine his happy dance when he saw Jesus!
He would say often, "Top O' the mornin' to you and the rest of the day for meself," and greet you with a big smile and a hearty handshake.
Dale will be missed on earth but I have great confidence he is singing all over heaven.
Psalm 116:15 says "Precious in the sight of the LORD
Is the death of His saints."
I loved his smile, his peaceful and welcoming demeanor, and his hugs. He loved Jesus and he loved people. I think everyone that met Dale made a new friend. He was s blessing and a good example. - Rick Lukens
