Dick Coulter

Our Chapter Dean and beloved colleague, Dick Coulter, passed away on Thanksgiving day morning after a five month struggle with numerous illnesses. Dick Coulter was Dean of the San Jose Chapter in 2010-2011, and again from July 2024 until he died. He was a music director in faith communities in California, Oregon, and Idaho, and was ecumenical in his church music employment. Details of his life of dedication and service to church music are given in our blog entry.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday January 18th, 2025 at 1:00 pm at St Luke’s Episcopal Church, Los Gatos. The event begins with 30 minutes of “prelude music" offered by Dick’s colleagues in his honor, followed by the memorial service. All are welcome to join the family for a reception in the parish hall after the service.

Our sympathy goes to his family.
