Dad today you left me and it hurts so bad, I know you were in alot of pain and you were ready to go home. This is truly the hardest day of my life but Iam so happy to have all the laughter and memories we shared. Its only been a short time and I already miss you. You are my number 1 fan and a champion in my heart. As I sit here and hold back the tears I just want to let you know I love You always and forever may God bless you Dad Love always your son Jered... #549 p.s. See ya on the other side..

Dad, I am so happy that you are finally at rest, no pain, and enjoying the company of your loved ones that you have met up with. I do miss you already, and will miss you everday. I LOVE YOU FOREVER. I WILL ALWAYS BE "DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL". your daughter, Laryssa

Greg, You are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless, Carla Alexander

You made me laugh when I needed it. You past me Jack of Hearts when I didn't have one. You fixed me drinks when I did NOT need one and most of all, you taught me how to bluff in cards, appreciate family, cherish friends and love life. I am better for having known you. Say hello to my mother in heaven. Rob Michael

Mickey, Greg, Jared, and Larissa, I smile when I think about the things that Dale and my dad must be doing in heaven right now! Those two always were quite something whenever they were together! Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all. I pray that the Lord will wrap his loving arms around you and give you great comfort. In His Love, Tina, Travis, and Natalie

Mickey, Greg, Jared and Larissa, You are in my thoughts and prayers. Please hang on to the good memories, and remember the great times you've shared. I hope that knowing Dale is no longer in pain can be of help, at this time.

Hello papa I really miss you. I love you very much and so does mckenzie. You will always be in my HEART!!kisses!!! YOUR BABY DUCK REONNA

Dale, You will be in our hearts forever. We will never forget your Vegas birthday, all nights sitting in your garage with the wood burning stove, the parties at our houses, and most of all the love and friendship we have shared with you and your family. Here's to you and here's to me....... and you know the rest. Love forever, the Grays

I cherish:the fun at Grandma's house; the wacky banter of cousins joining in; our special bond at reunions; the warm, loving personality of a special cousin who will be greatly missed by all of us. My heart grieves for Mickey & children; please know Dale will live forever in our memories.

Mickey, Greg, Jered, Laryssa, Reonna & Mckenzie I know you are hurting right now,as we all are,but as hard as it is,somehow we have to go on with our lives which I know Dale would want us to do. He enjoyed life and people, and I don't think he ever met a stranger, or a person he didn't like. I wish that I could be with you, but you are with me in my thoughts and prayers. I just wish that I could give all of you a big hug, but since I can't, I will send you all my love. He is with his dad now and Grandma and Grandpap O'Brien along with lots of other loved ones. Can you even imagine what a reunion that was! I can almost hear Dale's hearty laugh, and see Claude's shy smile, and Mickey you know what a pair they were when they were together. Although I am two thousand miles away, I will be with you on Monday, thinking of you every minute. God Bless all of you. Mom Grandma Great Grandma

Even though it has been a long time since I have seen you all. You are always in my thoughts. Some of my best memories are being the King house and being part of the family. My prayers are with you during this time. Love you all.

Dale, we had many many fun times when we were younger and as we grew up. When you come to our home in Canton and to go swimming, grandma said you can go swimming but dont go in the water. Ron and I will miss you very much, your cous,MJ

Mickey, Greg, Jared, Larissa, and families: My thoughts and prayers are with all you at this sad time. Dale was a special man, a special cousin. My earliest memory of him was when he was in the military, and I remember thinking how handsome he was in that uniform! He will be greatly missed at the O'Brien Reunion, and we will truly miss his big smile, hearty laughter, and always, always...a big hug.

Our deepest condolences -

Mickey, Greg, Jered & Laryssa As the song says, "We Are Family" and we will remain close and strong forever. Dale wouldn't have wanted to any other way. I'm so glad I was able to visit you recently. It was special. I'm sure that should give me comfort now. However, the emptiness I feel in my heart today will never be replaced by anyone. He was my big brother. Mickey, you are wonderful. Thanks! When Monday arrives and Dale's service begins we won't be sitting near you and the kids. But, be assured you won't be alone we will be there with you in spirit and in our hearts now and forever. My love to all. God Bless.

Mickey, Greg, Jered, and Laryssa, I know you will miss Dale terribly, as will we all, but knowing that he is in no more pain has to be a comfort. He's pain-free now, talking again, laughing again, happy, and with those he loves. We will all miss Dale, especially in August. Mickey, the first time he brought you home after you were married, I can still hear him saying, "This is my wife, Mickey", and I was so jealous of you! I must have been all of 13, and he was so special to me....still is. Know that you are all in my thoughts, heart, and prayers. The Lord took care of Dale, and now He will take care of you, too. I love you all.

I have only met each of you once or twice, but as a friend of Sharon's I feel I know each of you so much better since she talks about you often. My prayers and thoughts are with you as you go through this difficult time. I enjoyed seeing Dale each year at the O'Brien reunion and his enjoyment of spending time with his extended family. God Bless You.

Brother, We will miss you but never forget you! You will always be in our hearts! May you rest in peace! Mickey, Greg, JJ and Laryssa...our continued prayers and good thoughts go with you! Love, TK & Jan

Dear Greg, it's hard to give you as much support and caring as I'd like when you are so far away. More than anything, I wish I could be there to give you a warm hug, lighten your spirit, maybe even make you smile. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers. your friend and colleague, Lillian

To my brother-in-law Dale, each summer you would come to visit us; we looked forward to your arrival ...Lord... I hope you looked forward to his arrival with you. We will remember your laughter, your warmth, your love. The evenings by the Fire at the Pond, the Family Reunions, and Sundays in front of the TV for Football or Nascar; or just sitting in the breeze-way enjoying the summer evening. Now you are gone from our sight but not from our memory. Our memories will keep us warm and comfort us on those days when we are missing you. Sometimes life is difficult - plain and simple. Illness, death, heartache, suffering and numerous hardships assault us as we walk on this planet. In our hearts, we all know that death is a part of life. In fact, death gives meaning to our existence because it reminds us how precious life is. Dale you are at peace... I believe there is a state where there is no more pain, no more sighing, nor sorrow; but life everlasting. As it may be too hard to believe, in this moment, God can and will meet all of our needs. It may not be the way we expect, but He will. I know we will all have a number of questions to ask Him when we get to Heaven someday, I have a strange suspicion that then, and only then will we truly understand why things happen the way they do. It's ok to cry, laugh, yell, scream, and talk to God about it all while we are here! Take time to tell the people you love, that you love them, at every opportunity and hug them often. Mickey,Laryssa,Jered,Reonna,McKenzie,Greg,Brian,& Logan We wish we could be there to hug you We Love you Jan and Terry Dale, Barney misses you

Dad, I still can't believe your gone, it just doesn't seem possible. I feel so blessed that I was able to spend time with you over the last 5 months. While we had some rough days & nights, I wouldn't change any part of it! It was so difficult to see you go through everything you did. The only thing that brings me peace and lightens my heart is knowing you are with all the people you loved so much who are also in Heaven. I know how much you missed Papa King after he died and I can only imagine what that reunion was like. I'm sure Papa Barrile is talking about taking you fishing and Nani, well, she's probably pinching your cheeks and kissing you all over your face! I know we feel overwhelmed right now with the reality of you being gone and you're probably overwhelmed with the big family reunion you're having! We had so many special times together back east and when we were all younger the camping trips to the beach we great also. I will always remember the happy times and try to put this sadness behind me. I wish you were able to visit us at our new home in Hawaii. I just know you would have loved it there. While you won't be there in body, I know you'll be there in spirit. There is a Hawaiian phrase that fits here....A Hui Hou (Til We Meet Again) I love you Dad! Greg Mom - Thanks for all you did to help Dad. It was because of you that Dad was so well taken care of and was able to pass away with dignity and peace. I know all of this has been very hard on you and I want you to know we love you very much!! That bell might be put away, but something tells me you haven't heard the last ding-a-ling-a-ling yet! I love you Mommy! Greg

Brother, We know that you're now free from your suffering, and are in the company of our loved ones who have passed. Rest in peace... With Love, Sue and Jim

Dale, I will always think of you as a great nephew. rest in peace. Uncle Marshall.

Dale, You always had a smile on your face and a joke or funny story to tell. Even though we did not see you often, we will miss you and remember you in our hearts. Uncle Marshall Janie and Nancy

Aunt Mickey,Greg,Jared,and Laryssa, It's difficult to see and let go of someone that we have loved and who has been apart of our lives for such along time. It's even more difficult because that person has had such an influence on who we are and what we've become. I have so many wonderful memories of times I shared with all of you and Uncie Dale. We always had a great time at family get togethers. He loved to laugh and joke around and just enjoyed being together with family and friends. I remember when I was younger and he took me shoting with Mike and Greg. He told me that the gun I was using had a "kick". Well, I found that out when I landed on my butt. And I'll never forget how hard he laughed.....he was in tears. That is just one very fond memory I have of him. I am so very thankful that I was able to be there with him as he slipped away into his eternal rest. And I am also very grateful to have been able to be there with all of you. You know that I will always be here for all of you in whatever you might need. We are family and that is the tie that binds us. It is true that blood is thicker then water. As for you Uncie Dale.....I know you and dad are having a laugh a minute.......and I'm sure you're asking that eternal question you always asked when we were all having a good time....."I wonder what the poor people are doing". I'll miss you always. Luv'n'kisses, Your niece Theresa

Dale, Your brother and I were talking the other day about if it wasn't for you we would never have met. The summer of 1995, Aurora WV the Brookside Jamboree; you were there visiting with Phil & Barb I was there visiting Aunt Jo and Uncle Lonnie (Barb's brother). Terry came to see you on Saturday at the Jamboree, and then you, Phil and Barb went to work on introducing us. I don't know if I ever thanked you. I love your brother and I thank you for that day and all the days after that. I am proud to be part of this family. I love you all. Jan Mickey & Family, We can not physically be with you on Monday; you will be in our hearts and prayers. We love you God Bless Jan and Terry

Dear Mrs. King and family, I am so sorry for the loss of your husband and father. I have been keeping up with his illness and your valiant efforts to care for him through Greg...my boss and my friend. Mrs. King, I hope you'll be able to take comfort in knowing that in the last months of Mr. King's life you gave freely and abundantly of yourself in order to make him comfortable and provide everything he needed. I pray the Lord will renew your energy and strength, remove the ache in your heart and restore it with an awareness of His presence, and replace your sorrow with joy. Kind regards, Marcy Vars "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning" Psalm 30:5
