A proud veteran, Ron honorably served his country for 20 years in the U.S. Army, where he was a distinguished helicopter mechanic, completing two tours in Vietnam.

Ron was deeply loved and will be dearly missed by his wife, Linda (McCrea Walker) Dalton; his children, Ronald Dalton, Jr., Gary (Denny) Dalton, and Patricia (Tammy) Dalton-Turos; and his step-children, Pamela Gibson and Kelley Fulton. He was a cherished grandfather and great-grand- father, leaving behind a legacy of love and wisdom. He is also survived by his sister Bonnie Wentworth, his brothers Delbert Dalton and Leroy (Sharon) Dalton, and many extended family members and dear friends.
Ron was preceded in death by his parents; his first wife of 21 years, Mary Eddy Dalton; his son Bruce; and his stepson Randall Walker.
