I believe that Dale and I were the last students from Belle Stone school that was still livng ,I grew up in the N.E. end of Canton and was a good friend until graduation and went our ways. He took good care of my families teeth when they were little and I will miss him a great deal.

Dr Brogan was my childhood dentist then became my husband’s then we added our daughter. He was a caring and gentle man. Those years lead us to the wonderful dentist we have now. We thank you for that. Rest In Peace Dr Brogan.
