Heart felt condolences from the buck family in Nebraska Greeley

Sue I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sue I just found out, I am so so sorry, there are no words that are right to say except we love you. Dale was an amazing man and he loves you all so much. He may not be here anymore but his love shines on through you and your babies. Big hugs.

Sue and family,
Words are difficult to find at a time like this. Ramone told me about your sudden, tragic loss and I just want you and your family to know that you have been in my thoughts and prayers. Continue to surround yourself with those you love and just take each day at a time.

What a sad time. Heart felt condolences to all the family.

Dear Sue and Family,
Terry and I just learned about the tragic loss of Dale, we were away. Great man, coach, neighbor, friend of all who knew the talented Dale. He is a long time good memory in our entire family starting with our trees, Ben's first coach in soccer, and always happy to swap family comings and goings with. We are so... lucky to have worked with Dale just a few weeks ago as you know and catch up. We feel his absence greatly and from family to family stay close.
Sorry for your loss. Love the Gertsens

My heartaches for the entire Buck Family. Your strength will move you forward in your time of sorrow. The Class of '72 lost a great guy too soon. Sincerely, Sherry Bosch

Dale was an amazing man and a beautiful person. I almost don't know what to say. I have been blessed to have Dale & the Buck family welcome me with open arms into their home and come to my rescue time after time.

my prayers go out to Dales family, worked with him several times early on logging. He was a Real man and one of the finest loggers I ever meet !!

My condolences to the entire Buck family. Dale was a great guy and good friend. I will never forget that sly, knowing smile and his great sense of humor. Rest in Peace my friend.

Dale was a wonderful, peaceful soul. He was so very welcoming and always gave a great hug whether you were coming or going. I loved hearing the stories he shared with my husband, Wally, about their adventures over the last 50 years of doing life together. Wally teased him relentlessly and Dale always had a twinkle in his eye and a ready smile. In my short 3 1/2 years of knowing Dale and Sue, I fell in love with their story and admired their marriage and family.
The Buck family got together just a few weekends prior to the accident. I was very aware of details of that day as I talked with everyone... more so than usual. I noticed in particular that Dale was serving everyone, tending to everyone's needs, feeding them... even though he himself could not eat or even drink beer. He had a medical procedure scheduled for the following day and he was fasting... he had the willpower of steel while continuing to serve everyone. I was touched to find out that stories of his service to his friends, family, and even mere acquaintances were coming out of the woodwork. Dale had a servant's heart. What a great legacy he left behind... a wake of infinite love in the hearts of his family and friends. I am honored to have known and loved him.

So sorry to all the Buck family and friends. We will miss that man tremendously. We just loved him and his family. Was so wonderful to spend a week with him in our home in Alaska in May, while he and my husband worked together landscaping our place. And what a beautiful job he did. Everytime we look out there we will see Dale. What an impact he and his family has left on so many peoples lives. I'm sure he's smiling down at us all from heaven. Love you guys.

Dale was a wonderful friend and classmate. Gentle, kind and always gracious to everyone. My prayers are with all of his family during this difficult time. May God give you peace and comfort.

God rest your soul, my friend and classmate. My prayers for your family and friends at this time of sadness.
Woodland High School Class of '72

So very sorry for your loss. We are praying for all of you.

We are so very sorry to hear of Dale's passing. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

The Bucks were instrumental in welcoming our family to Ridgefield so many years ago. Dale was a great role model to one of my boys, Ryan, and he learned many life lessons while being around him. I will always remember how proud he was of Nick when Nick competed in the Washington state high school soccer tournament. We will miss his presence around town. Our thoughts are with the Buck family.

Tim, Cindy & Family, I am so, so sorry for your loss. Though I never met Dale, he sounds like a sweet man. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love, Cath

My condolences to all of Dale's family and many friends.

Our condolences to your whole family. May you find some small comfort in knowing how much love is in this world because of him.

You will be greatly missed. Rest in peace cousin.

So very sorry for your great loss! Praying for your whole family for peace.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with all. God Bless.

Prayers to all of you,a great man, he will be missed by many.

I am so sorry. I have not seen him in a very long time.

I'm sorry that I didn't get the opportunity to meet this great guy. It seems that our paths should have crossed. I'm so sorry you lost this wonderful member of your family.

To the family; I am so sorry to hear that you lost him. I did not get to know him very well but from what I knew of him he was a great dad, husband, and all around one of the good ones. He will be missed.

I cannot express the deep sorrow felt by this loss. The Bucks have taken me into their family and treated me like their own for many years. I know that I am only one of many who have been loved by them in this way. We made many memories together and I was able to see just how much Dale loved his family and their friends. He went out of his way to show his love for me and I will never forget him.

Just being around Dale was peaceful and serene...spending time at his home among the beautiful landscape that he created. To know him and spend time with him was such a privilege. My daughter was blessed to have him as her God parent, "Uncle", friend, mentor and most of all her bullfrog buddy. He was the best frog catcher ever! Our hearts will forever be heavy but our spirits will always be lifted by the wonderful memories Dale gave us.

If you knew Dale there is nothing I can say you don't already know. Good man, Good friend. Rest in peace, till we meet again.

Very sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers to you all that feel the heavy sorrow of loosing Dale.

I'm so sorry I never got to know Dale even if we were cousins, but have heard so many kind things said about him. I know he's safe in the arms of our Lord.

Condolence to the family, we shall light a candle for his spirit.

I am so sorry for your loss I loved coaching soccer with him he was a great guy I will miss him.he was the closes thing to a mountain man I ever met.

I only met Dale a few times while at Lucy's Garden, his next door neighbors. He helped build many areas of that beautiful venue. Every person that strolls along the main path or gazes at the rock walls will be enjoying his talents in landscape design work. A beautiful soul has moved on to a bigger design venue and will be greatly missed.
