W. Dale Treleaven

W. Dale Treleaven, born in Canada in 1945, passed away peacefully on May 25, 2013 in Houston, Texas, surrounded by loving family and friends. Dale had a PhD from Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada, and, for the past 17 years, served as the NMR Facility Manager in the College of Basic Sciences and Department of Chemistry at Louisiana State University. He published more than 101 articles in refereed scientific journals. He will be dearly missed by his loving wife, Kathy Morden, and brothers Lance and Lorne, as well as extended family, friends, colleagues, students, and all who knew and loved him. He passionately sought to learn new things throughout his life [he read a lot!]. He was a renaissance man with diverse interests that ranged from gourmet cooking, to fly fishing, playing the accordion, ham radio operation, astronomy, building and flying radio controlled airplanes, styling bonsai trees, keeping orchids alive, and woodworking, to name a few. Well-read on an amazing range of topics, Dale always delighted friends with his insightful and often humorous conversations. His twinkling eyes always revealed his love of life and friends. A Celebration of Life to follow.
