June 5, 2017 at 12:38 pmMy heart and prayers are with Dalton’s family. I was so sadden to hear of his passing. I have had the privilege to call Dalton my friend for over 35 years. I will always have fond memories of fishing trips to Muskogee with him and my father and even more recent going to Dave’s cabin on Truman lake to fish and talk about my father and Grandpa Clyde and Jim and all the times passed. He was a great friend and will be missed by everyone that ever knew him.
