From Ed Dowd, pastor, Tulsa, Oklahoma:
Mr. Dale Hampton died Thursday night, April 14, at the age of 84. As many of you were aware, Mr. Hampton was in great amounts of pain for many years from scoliosis and other ailments, but was very much looking forward to God's Kingdom.
Mr. Hampton had a wide reach in church history beginning with pastoring Portland and Boise in 1960, to helping with Church's alcoholism programs in the late 1970s. He also pastored congregations in Oklahoma.
Psalm 116:15 says, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints." Mr. Hampton now awaits the resurrection, the return of His Savior, and the establishment of God's Kingdom.
A memorial service will be conducted for Mr. Hampton this coming Monday, April 18, in Henryetta, OK.
Louise, Dale's wife, cared for him very lovingly. Please keep her and the family in your prayers. Cards and notes may be sent to the following address:
