Dear Peacher Family:
As a high school boy at NDHSQ when it came corsage buying time for the Proms and important dances, I asked Clarence and Erma where to get the flowers. “Go Kroner’s” and talk to Dale,” was the response. So, I did.
Dale was/is a great person and left a great mark of greatness and goodness on all people he met.
Please accept my condolences and prayers as I will offer Mass for him in Denver where I now live.

Barb, Dan and Family, I was deeply saddened to learn of your dad’s passing. He was a kind and giving person and held in high esteem by all who knew him. He was a true gentleman. I always enjoyed being in his company. I spent many hours at your parent’s house during my high school days in Quincy and helped delivery flowers for the florist during peak holiday periods. It was always enjoyable to attend a Peacher clan gathering at your parent’s house. Even though I have not seen your dad for many years, his memory will stay with me always.
On behalf of The Williams we send our deepest condolences to Barb. It was a pleasure to meet grandad as my daughter called him. He always made us laugh and embrace everyday of life.
Dear Peacher family, What a great guy he was. Both your Mom and Dad had been close friends to my parents over 75 years. My mother went to school with Carlene and had stayed friends all these years, Darrell was over at my mothers home maybe 9 years ago for a visit, he was a great joy to know and be with, my mother will miss him.
