Condolence From: David Tafone
Condolence: My deepest sympathies and sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Dale Moore. Dr. Moore was my voice teacher at IU Jacob's school of music in 2008 and was a fantastic teacher, mentor and human being. He was always very supportive of my progress and very encouraging towards me and my colleagues. My voice improved a lot under his tutelage and to this day I still vocalize and warm up with quite a bit of his technical exercises and vocalizes. I will be forever grateful for his mentorship, knowledge and impact he has had on my growth as a singer and human being.

Condolence: Mr. Moore was my voice teacher many years ago at Indiana University. He was a masterful technician and great encourager, and was a pivotal part of my growth as a singer and musician. To this day, I still use many of the exercises and techniques I learned from him. I also took a vocal literature class with him, and still use the books from his class in my own teaching.

On a personal note, I still have a hand-written letter he sent to me regarding my singing and how to improve as a performer. On the envelope, it is addressed to "The Incomparable Laura White". Though I hardly consider myself "incomparable", Mr. Moore always made me feel that way when I was in my voice lessons.

I am truly sorry for your loss. Mr. Moore was a great teacher, and a great man. I pray that your family will be comforted by special memories of him, and by the love and support of family and friends.

With deepest sympathy,

Laura Eads

Condolence From: Rosemarie Cereghino
Condolence: I am so saddened to hear of Dale's passing. He was my beloved teacher, mentor, and friend during the early year's of my career. So much of what I do now as a voice teacher is rooted in techniques I learned from him. And his sense of humor and booming bass voice. Love and sympathy to Roseanne and all of the family, Sincerely, Rosemarie Cereghino

Condolence From: Karen Clayton
Condolence: I was a student of Dale Moore from 1967-68 at SIUE. He taught me so much about technique and I was able to perform a graduate recital I could not have sung without his tutelage. Having been a student of Marjorie Lawrence for three years, I always said I learned the drama from her and the proper way to sing it from Mr. Moore. He was a kind and patient man, and I will always cherish having studied with him. Condolences to his family. Karen (Petty) Clayton. MM 1967.

Condolence From: John Gross
Condolence: I will always be grateful to Dale Moore for his influence and help in securing my employment at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. as Staff Accompanist. His influence paved the way for many wonderful musical experiences with him and his students in recital and NATS competitions, also Metropolitan Opera Auditions. He was a positive influence in the lives of all he touched and he created a sad vacuum when he moved from the St Louis area.
Dorothy, my wife, and I send our condolences to Roseanne and we are thankful for the many good times we have had together.

Condolence: What a wonderful, giant of a man in every way. I studied with him from 1977-1980
My life was blessed by knowing Mr. Moore and his tremendous influence on my singing.
We shared much laughter and joy as well as the art of singing.
I continue to teach music to children and have for many years.
During my last visit to Wooster, a very small group of us went over to see Mr. Moore.
It was incredibly special to see his eyes light up and spark a connection over a couple of memories.
Thank you for sharing him with so many. I will remember him always.
Sending support to your whole family.

Condolence From: Dorothea Giordano
Condolence: Dear Roseanne and all the family,

My deepest sympathy to you in the loss of Dale, whom we all loved. He taught me so much. Singing Susanna under his direction in A Marriage of Figaro was the highlight of my whole college experience. And I will never forget Mr. Moore's larger-than-life personality! One time he told me "Tell them that is something up with which you will not put!" He shared my joy when he sang at my wedding and shared my sorrow when I suffered a vocal injury that cut short my singing career. Roseanne, I will never forget your hospitality the summer I stayed with you for a week when singing with The Ohio Light Opera. (Your cat was not as hospitable--you both went to an out of town wedding, and your cat whom I cared for in your absence was mad at you for leaving and pooped on your bed!) I also could not believe my good fortune that week in getting to drive your Spider sports car to rehearsals. I was delighted when our son Andrew got to study voice with Dale at IU. It was fun to have dinner out with you both in Bloomington as well. So many, many happy memories. May you be comforted by your good memories as well. I remember Dale calling you his "nearest and dearest", Roseanne. May God comfort you in your sorrow, as well.

With love and gratitude, D.G. Fox Giordano

Condolence From: Russell Miller
Condolence: Dear family of Dale Moore,

I was privileged to call Dale my colleague and friend at the Eastman School of Music, where we began together in 1995. During the four years we were both on the voice and opera faculty, he was not only clearly successful and popular as a voice teacher, but also extremely helpful to me as an inexperienced teacher of vocal repertoire. He was always ready with advice about all aspects of our field, and also gave me several volumes of poetry and songs which I continue to use and treasure. His knowledge of British and American art song was particularly impressive. It was also my pleasure to accompany Dale on one occasion in the Vaughan Williams Songs of Travel for a private performance in his home in Rochester, followed by a terrific meal prepared by Rosanne. I last saw them both in Bloomington in 2003 and regret that I didn't get back there for a return visit.

My best wishes and condolences to all the Moores, I will miss him.

Russell Miller, DMA
