Dear Hoskinson Family
Though it has been a long time since we have seen one another, my thoughts have often been with you all. Mike and I extend most heartfelt condolences to you. God bless you.
I loved you as if you were my father-in-law Dale, thank you for giving me such a wonderful son, took ’em a bit to find me but I hope we have as long and loving life as you and Alice did.
Dearest family of my uncle Dale- I just heard of his passing from my dad Darry and I was a little surprised until,I thought my own father is going to be 75 this next month and as time goes on so does life….My uncle Dale was a special uncle because he loved girls and the Lord didn’t bless him with any and I always thought I was his girl. Thats how he made me feel. I wasn’t born to him but he made me feel like I was his daughter. That was how I remember my uncle Dale. Love you uncle B. Dale Your Neice Connie
Please include us in your loving extended family for anything that you may need. . .you are in our prayers.
Our sympathy to Dale’s Family,
We are sorry that we will not be able to attend the memorial for Dale. We knew him from “Youngs” and will miss him and we know you all will too.
John and Irene
We have all lost a giant. Dale has been for many a giant pillar, an often silent presence, holding up generations with his love, pride and tender dignity. He will be missed and never replaced, but through his living he has inspired us all to live with heart and faith and provide stability in the storms of life.
May peace be with you all during this period of loss and grief.
With Love
Pastor’s John and Staci Current

Dear Alice and Jeff,
May God’s grace and peace be yours during this difficult time. We’ve just read about Dale in the Highline Times/Des Moines News. We wish we’d read it earlier and attended the Memorial for him. Praying for you– Remy and Ed Millare
Our hearts go out to Terry, Debbie and family during this most difficult time. You are in our prayers. We didn’t know Dale, but the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Terry, we know you made your father proud, as you are a fine, good and decent man. We know you will miss your father, please find comfort in the love and support of family and friends, and in knowing he is at peace.
Love,
Tony and Therese

My heartfelt sympathies to Alice and all the members of the Hoskinson Family. Dale was a good and generous man, and a faithful Christian. He will be greatly missed at Highland Park UMC and in the West Seattle community.

My thoughts are with the entire family and especially with Alice in having lost her best friend of over 50 years. Blessed are those that were in his life in having had his kindness and love in their life’s, to which makes the loss so great yet the memories treasured. I have been thankful for the Grandpa he has been for Jordan and Brenda.
In my prayers I ask my dear friend to put in a good wood with Jesus. I tried to think how long yearswe spent in Bible study. I will certainly miss Dale. No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind can conceive what God in Christ Jesus has planed for us. My friend Dale is now viewing it fully. May God soften your and your family’s loss.
We were sorry to hear of Dale’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the family at this time. May God grant you peace in your time of sorrow.
Our condolences and sympathy go out to Alice and her family for their great loss. We will always remember Dale as a kind and caring man.
It still seems unreal that this could have happened. We enjoyed Dale’s lovely bass voice in the choir for as long as he could sing after we came to Highland Park. I always secretly hoped that he might feel well enough for one last choir at Worship. However, he is now in a far better choir and his devoted years help him to a wonderful place in it.
We will miss him profoundly at Highland Park and elsewhere.
Take care. Peg McCormack
Love you all. Our prayers are with you.
Don & Estelle
Alice and family,
Tom and I want to express our deepest sympathy for the loss of Dale. Please find comfort in knowing that his death was quick and peaceful and that he is now with our Lord. We will miss him greatly and we wish we could be there. We hope to see you and the family back here for his memorial service. Take care. We love you.
Tom, Kim and family
We will always remember Dale always starting with, “What have we got so far?”. We will never forget on one particular visit up Beaver Creek, when Don gave Dale his first and last fly fishing lesson. The flyhook had to be cut out of Don’s lip.
We will miss those visits either going or coming from Kansas.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love Don and Marva
All of us share a deep sense of loss. Our hearts go out to Alice and the boys and their families.
Brother Dale loved a good story and he had this deep belly laugh that was contagious to all around him.
No husband and father was more devoted to his wife and sons, Terry, Jeff, Mark, and Cliff.No father could have loved his family more than Dale, or gave them more of himself.He set a very high bar for all of us, on being devoted to his family.
He loved and he gave, and they became “The Hoskinsons of Seattle”. We will all miss him so very much.
His brother-Darry.
We will miss his pinochle playing and quietness broken by loud guffaws when something was funny. We loved having Dale and Alice as our across-the-street neighbors for many years when they first came to Seattle. His faithful service to HPUMC, the Boy Scouts and White Center Food Bank showed what a caring person he was.
We are all sorry to hear about your loss, our thougts and prayers are with you in your time of sorrow.
Love, Troy, Shawn, Shannon, Derrick, Brandon and Chelsea
I was the Dale & Alice experimental model. fortunately they improved with the next three models. Dad would holler TERRY LEE in a very distinctive tone. When I was growin up I alwise thought he was saying TERRY LEAP Anyway, I know not to make him holler twice! We never went without food,shelter or the necessities of life. I cannot even begin to comprehend what all he may have went without so my Mom,brothers & I could be taken care of. Debbie & I will forever rememder his helpful kindness, silent determination & love for his family.
HE CAME FROM A GREAT FAMILY ALL OF THEM ARE ROLL MODELS YOU DO NOT SEE EVERDAY.
To put something into words is so hard for me. My Dad is someone I will miss for ever. I know he is still in me and a part of my life foever. I love him so verry much. I know he’s in a better place. I’m so proud to be his son.

Alice and cousins-
I am so sorry about Dale’s death. I knew that as our parents are getting older that this day would come, but I guess I hoped it would be longer. Our family is praying and thinking of you. I dread the day I will be in your shoes. I want to have my parents to be around forever!!! Take care of yourselves and know that we all feel your loss and we are all praying for you knowing that your husband/father is much better off than we are! Love, Judy
