The National Portable Storage Association offers its deepest sympathies to the family of Dale Payne, president of A Aamerican Container and Trailer Leasing Corp. Dale passed away on Sept. 28, 2009 from heart complications.

“On behalf of the portable storage industry, I extend my deepest sympathies and condolences to Dale’s family, friends, and colleagues,” says John Finnessy, CMP, Executive Director the National Portable Storage Association (NPSA). “He was a remarkable man, a loving husband and father, and a dear friend. The portable storage industry has greatly benefited from his countless contributions. He will be missed by many.”
