To Dale & your family: My sincere synpathy in the loss of your father - he was a true gentleman. I was sending him notes occassionally but the mail came back - undeliverable - so I didn’t know how to contact him. I always enjoyed talking to him.

To Dale & Linda, our sincere sympathy in the loss of your father.
Mr. Beitzel (we would never dare to call him anything else — ever)was a genuine old school man, who demanded AND DESERVED respect. I (obviously) still recall the time he “straightened me out” when I was doing something dumb in one of the alleys we played in as kids.
My condolences Dale.
Lee
