    Mr. Waldbieser was my Biology teacher at Odon High School, I believe it may been one of his 1st teaching jobs. I can see we must have broke him of making teaching a career! He was a nice man. You all have my sympathies.

    Only knowing Dale over the last 3-4 years,he always brought a smile to my face while at Sugar Creek. His shooting instruction, great stories and quick wit was enjoyed by all. I will miss him. My thoughts are with his family.

    Immeasurable loss, a dear friend. Many many shared experiences, heartfelt stories developed over more than sixty years of friendship. In one of most recent conversations with Marshall, he emphasized that his family was the highest priority in his life. God Bless his family and many friends.
