I met Dale many years ago at Bally's where he did his laps in the pool. We lost contact for a time until, to my surprise, he reached out to me through the church email address were I was the music librarian. From that time on we would get together on occasion at one of our two favorite breakfest places, First Watch or LaMadeline's. It was not unsusual for us to schedule something after Christmas and Easter where we would share our recent holiday concerts. There were also many occasions when he would call me on Sunday morning because he had an extra ticket to the afternoon performance of the Fort Worth Symphony. Although we saw each other only a few times in a year I will miss his kindness and the stories he would tell of various organ society trips he had taken or was planning to take in the future.
