My Uncle passed away this past week.
He was only 62.
The circumstances were bizarre (A household fall resulting in paralysis & ultimately.... Heart Failure)
I have not spent years in direct relationship with Uncle Dale.
He lived in the Pittsburgh area (for the last 30+ years)... I've lived in So. Calif & now Texas.
I DID get to see him not that long ago at my cousin Taryn's Wedding. It was great to connect with him.
In fact... I'm very glad that is my last memories of him.
It was a meaningful connection and I could tell he cared very much about me and my family.
The decision has been made not to hold a memorial service for Uncle Dale.
It is our (his surviving family) hope that this blog will serve a place we can celebrate Dale Daub, share our memories, and grieve through thoughts & stories.
As we mourn the death of my Uncle.... Dale Daub I take comfort in the passage from Proverbs 14:
32 When calamity comes, the wicked are brought down,
but even in death the righteous have a refuge.
I pray that an untimely end is resulting in a eternity with God.
