His lean runner’s frame gives a clue to what the Rev. Bob Trask plans for his retirement: Run even more and, if possible, find a cross country team to coach.
“I will continue to be a priest, filling in on Sundays, “ said Trask, 65, who is retiring as pastor of Grace Episcopal Church in Port Huron.
“My dream is to be a running coach, cross country at a local high school.”
Trask’s final service after nearly 15 years at Grace Episcopal will be at 10 a.m. Sunday. He and his wife, Margaret, will be moving to Wheaton, Ill., where they have family.
Trask came to the ministry later in life and has spent nearly 30 years as an Episcopalian priest.
“I taught horticulture in a vocational training program at a maximum security prison in Kansas,” he said. “We had a greenhouse, we did turf care, a variety of things.”
Working at the prison in Hutchinson, Kan., he said, prepared him for his vocation.
