Dalton was the friendliest and most pleasant man I know.  I met him through my husband's family.  We loved having him come to our family get-to-gather's.  He was such a joy, always smiling and joking around.  I don't think he every met a stranger.  He IS definitely missed.  

I had the pleasure of working with Dalton here at Shepard & Walton Employee Benefits for 30 years.    He was a very kind soul and genuinely served our clients with honesty and integrity.  We had many laughs and stresses as most work places do, but we always came together as a team.   He was team player and always asked how he could help.   We will miss him dearly and our office will not be the same without him.  

I have worked with Dalton for about a year and a half. I wish I had the opportunity to meet him in person (I work remotely), but I loved talking with him. Every time he called, he was the sweetest and most grateful person. After our calls, I would receive these short but lovely thank you messages. I will miss never having met him, but I am grateful to have had the interactions I had with him. 

My favorite Dalton memory was a call during which I was helping him with some passwords. As it turned out, someone in the security questions had the name Collard and their spouse had the name Green (or vice versa, I forget). I said “Really Dalton, Collard and Green? It sounds like they were made to be together” (Collard Greens for those wondering about my humor) and the phone fell silent. I thought I had upset Dalton and was busily trying to figure out how to apologize respectfully. A few minutes later he chuckled and said “You are funny. I never thought of that before.” 

May God offer His comfort to everyone grieving Dalton’s passing and His peace to those searching for the steps to continue life here on Earth without him. God gained a true angel in Dalton. 


Dalton and I worked together at a major insurance company years back. He was not only a mentor, an intelligent professional, but also a kind and sincere person. I will always remember him as my  friend with a kind heart.  My condolences to his wife, Pearl, all his children and grandchildren.

My uncle Dee was a wonderful father figure to me as I was growing up. Was a GOOD man and will be missed.

Dalton's Dad and my Dad. Jumbo Smith were great friends and hunting buddies.  Our family spent a lot of time with Dalton's family and knew them really well.  I have to admit that I had a major crush on Dalton when I was a teen. It wasn't to be because he was four years older.  Loved his mom and dad too.  So many fun memories. So sad to receive the news. RIP Dalton.

My maiden name is Seago. Aunt Pauline and my mom, Zenora, we’re sisters.  We lived in Alice, Tx. I had three older brothers and only one, Bobby, is still living. He is 84. I am 70. My parents and I visited Uncle Dee and Aunt Pauline in Pharr.  Last time I saw Dalton was at Lorreta’s about 25 years ago. May God grant you peace and strength at this time. 
Virginia Seago Bedgood.
