Condolences for Dale Duane Nickles
So sorry to hear this. I grew up with Dale and his sister Linda in Swanton, Ne. Dale was my age. Blessing and prayers to the family.
We’re so sorry for your loss. Maybe the sayings of Jesus will settle his problems. His Dad, Calvin, my cousin, once told me he “couldn’t understand his behavior when Dale had such a nice family & three beautiful girls”. Forgiveness is now in vogue. Please accept our condolences.
Thank you, Dad, for giving us girls a safe and loving home to grow up in. I am forever grateful to you for that. I love you always. Thank everyone for the thoughtful cards.

Thoughts & prayers to his family. Had a lot of good times with Dale.
Nine months now since you’ve been gone. I miss you dad. I miss your smile. I miss your wit. I miss your sarcasm. I miss your sweet smile. Rest in peace. I will forever love you.
