    The time in which I knew Dale was very short and very close the the end of his life on earth.

    During this harsh winter he sat through my practice session at the organ of St. Albans church and his appreciation of the music was very heart-warming.

    I hope that the hearts of those who knew and loved Dale Trahan will mend quickly.

    We send heartfelt sympathy to Dale’s family. Finally Dale is at peace.
    I remember Dale as a sweet, quiet man. He was always appreciative of any smile or kindness shown to him.
    He enjoyed the Be Our Guest dinners at St Alban’s Church and was happy to listen to our little group play Country/Bluegrass during the dinners.
    We will miss his kind presence. Peace, Dotty and Sally
