    My thoughts and prayers go out to the Garrison Family. I grew up with Terry and Jeff many years ago in Fremont. My memories of Dale are that of being one of the most supportive fathers in Fremont and a true family man. You have been in my thoughts all week Walt. God Bless.

    We will miss Dale's smiling face as we greeted each other at worship at Sinai. When people chose to sit in the same places in church, it is always nice to have friendly folk like the two of you sitting right behind us. We missed your anniversary but we thought about you sharing so many years together. God's Peace be with you all.

    God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
  7. Joe and Barb Allman

    I grew up with all the Garrisons in Fremont. Dale was one of my basketball coaches at Salem Lutheran. My mother worked with his wife for many years. He was a straight-forward guy who always told it like it was. I'm sure my brother Pud was there to welcome him into heaven. Respectfully-Gregg Kupfer
