I will miss my dear cousin, Dale. A message or a phone call from Dale was guaranteed to brighten my day! He would share stories and memories of the Pfister side of the family with me, and I will cherish the visits we had over the years. I just got home from the hospital with double pneumonia, and unfortunately will not be able to make the trip, but please know my thoughts are with all of you today -- and Dale, my friend, we will meet again in Heaven.
Tom and Kathy Pfister

To Kathleen,Karen & Glenn & families and also to Cheryl,
We have know Dale for many years. His mom & dad were my Godparents, so I've known him since I was a little girl. He has always been a special person. When he lived in Greendale, we used to run into each other at Pick n Save. He always had a smile & a hug for me. I remember when we first met Cheryl and thought how lucky they both are to have found one another.
I'm sure everyone will remember how kind and caring he always was.
Please be strong & remember the happy times you've had with him.

Love, Carole & Tom

We give our deepest sympathy to all of you. Dale was a great guy and always shared his love and pride for his family whenever we saw him. We are so glad that we got to see Dale at Justin's wedding.
We pray that God's peace and comfort will be with you during this difficult time.
Love,
Terry & Diane

We have known Dale since 1976 when I became Chief Exam in Milwaukee. Dale was Chief of Review and served in that position for many years until his promotion to the Appellate Division. His wise counsel,straight talk and advice helped me acclimate to Milw. We shared many trips together to fish and golf, Sugar Camp, WI, Keshena, Bella Vista, Arkansas, Branson, Mo., French Lick, IN and others. A humerous incident occured during one of our managers meetings in Ocomomowoc Wi, we went to eat at the Golden Mast and had many Regional Chicago big wigs with us. Dale ordered the wine and of course he wanted a certain year which they didn't have so when the Waitress brought out the bottles they did have, Dale took out a Sharpie Marking Pen and wrote the year 1955 on each bottle. Needless to say the wine cost per person was more than the dinner and drinks. Our sincere condolences to Cheryl and Dale's family We did not expect this. Irene and I had visited Dale on 5/14 he seemed very fine and upbeat waiting for his 5/21 doctor visit. We sat on the patio with him looking over Pewaukee lake for about 2 hours which memory we will cherish. Dale touched many lives with his outgoing personna and character he will be missed by so many.
