Jack was surely “comfortable in his own skin”. What you saw in him was what you got! He was kind, generous, honest and sincere. He is missed. Jack O’Leary

Our Wednesday golf group miss Jack and his humor on the links at Silver Lakes. Mostly his broad smile and his laugh, especially on the first tee. That and the golf gloves and special golf balls and incidentals Jack would pass out to us duffers. We miss you Jack. Jim Corbett (Vis Kids)

We will forever miss Dr. Dalton. He was always so full of life and his stories made us laugh. He was our kids only dentist until Dr. Greg started. We are all so very sorry for your loss and time will heal your hearts. I thought it was hard to come to the dentist before but his loss will make it even harder.

Very saddened to hear of Dr. Dalton's passing. I went to him most of my life and my children don't know any other dentist (other than Dr. Greg). My husband, Michael had a great fear of dentists and Dr. Dalton calmed his fears. Our youngest daughter refused to even open her mouth at the dentist. Dr. Dalton was the only one to get her to do it. Even though we only saw him once or twice a year, he was always kind and personable. He will be missed
