Not sure what to say?

I was one of many students of Coach Trane. He treated everyone like they were his favorite student. He inspired me to be better. My memories of him will live forever.

He was very influencial in my life. He coached in Montpelier Idaho high School. I was was fortunate to have him as my basketball coach. He was a good person.

Sister Trane and Trane Family,

Coach Trane and Sister Trane were great influences on me in life, gospel, and sports. They were both great teachers and examples to me. Coach Trane taught me the fundamentals of tennis, basketball, and football and I continue to have great joy in my life because of athletics. I used Coach Trane in one of my talks in Church recently as a great example to follow. I will always appreciate what he has done for me.

Dear Sister Trane and Family,
We send our love and prayers to you all at this difficult time. Keith is indeed a gifted and compassionate man. Even though we lived far away, we have come to know your family through your son Randy, our brother-in-law, who we love and esteem. The exceptional traits that were evident in Keith are also found in Randy. Our thoughts are with you.

Mr. Trane with members of Orem tennis team

Mr. Trane was my PE instructor at Lincoln Junior High school. He was my first tennis instructor and coach and remained my coach through junior high and high school. I have many fond memories of time spent with him on and off the court and he was a great friend as well as a great teacher.

Coach Trane was my teacher at Linclon Jr High. I was able to be one of his cage boys while in 9th grade and very much enjoyed him as a teacher. I also attended Coach Tranes summer Basketball camp every summer and enjoyed it vary much. Coach Trane will be missed very much by a lot of people.

I was sorry to hear about the passing of your father, Terry. It has been many years since I have seen any of you. My condolences to your family.

Dear Justin, Tiffany and Tamsin,
There is much to remember and record about a grandfather as wonderful as your Grandpa Trane.
In quiet moments when you can't think of anything or anyone else but him ... take time to jot down some of those meaningful experiences you shared together. As you grow older, the memories will tend to fade. That is when the thoughts you've written will remind you of all those wonderful experiences you shared with him; and the great "bits of advice" he...
