My friend Dale, we became friends in 1972 when we both started at Midland Steel Products. I enjoyed our weekly Friday walks through the plant when we would solve company problems and discuss our future plans. We worked together at Midland for over 20 years. As both of our careers changed paths working for different companies, we still kept in contact golfing, going to sporting events, dinners out and simply visiting each others homes. We remained close friends as couples along with our wives Ginny & Jean. Our sons, Jim & Mike, grew to know you and respect you. They would frequently ask over the many years "How's Mr. Spencer doing?" We remained very close friends over 48 years and I remember how often we would say we're more like brothers than friends. So, my brother, I say farewell, and you will be missed. Your friend, Pete Kurowski
