Today I sang at a memorial service for a wonderful man (photo includes his wife talking to a friend at a 2007 Christmas party). I only met him a couple of times, but know that he was a very nice man who loved his music. Those who knew him well have only the kindest words for him.

His obituary says:

"For 47 summers, he was the organist at Trinity Episcopal Church in York Harbor, and for 30 of those years he was also the choir director. He was also the choir director and organist at First Parish Congregational Church in York for 17 years. He was a member of the American Guild of Organists and the Seacoast Community Chorus."

He planned the entire service to the tiniest detail, in a multi-page letter. Very interesting!

The service was wonderful, moving, and very musical, as he would surely have wanted.
