My parents were visting at your home one evening and my dad started reading something while sitting in your living room. While he was reading your dad did a sketch of him. Its poster size and my dad is in a very “typical” pose that is familiar to all of his children. This sketch is something that was framed and was in our home while we were all growing up. My parents devoriced about 35yrs ago. I always loved that sketch. Recently while visiting my dad, before I left he brought out the sketch and gave it to me. I can’t begin to tell you how much that ment to me. I am having copies made for my brother and sister and am giving them at Christmas time. I feel so fortunate to have this sketch and will always cherish it.

Thanks to your family,
Kathleen Hanson Palmer

We Thompsons loved that guy. His and Jerry’s baptisms were one of the highlights of my time as a ward mission leader. Bishop Robert Orton would say the same. The one constant with Dale was his humility. Try as we might, we could not make him to tout his own artistic abilities or achievements. He did a couple of paintings for our family and drew the cover for our Yale Ward Bulletin. During John’s teenage years, he owned a very new, green Jeep that he let John use on one of our jeep trips to Southern Utah. I was very nervous about returning the vehicle with at least one bent, white “spoker” wheels during our “mild” adventure. Yet, he was gracious and understanding. He had a wonderful sense of humor. We will miss him. Our lives were never quite the same after he sold the Harvard house. He left a great legacy–his family and his art. Colleen and I convey our sincere and deepfelt condolences to the family.

May the Lord be with all of you and bless you with peace and many happy memories of your time together with your delightful and talented father.

Just thought I’d drop a line to let you know that my dad, Dale Kilbourn passed away quietly at home today. We will miss him terribly, but we are grateful for the legacy of devotion, beauty, and love he left to all of us.

I went to the Yale 2nd Ward. Is John your younger brother and did he baptize your dad? And I probably grew up with your sister, Margaret.

It adds a necessary spice to flavor the story AND make the people in it real.
