Dalton moved to the Carleton Manor in Woodstock in December 2020. To intrust one of the dearest people in your life to the care of others is a very hard thing to do. The staff of the Manor; Sarah, Billie-Jo and all of their colleagues exceeded our expectations. They cared for him, supported him and loved him as though he was a part of their own family. We cannot thank them enough and want them to know that Dalton`s family will be forever grateful for their genuine devotion to him.

There are some special people we would like to thank for their extra support and love of Dad these last two years. We call them "Team Dalton". Leading the team, Our Rock, Eleanor Ritchie, with a dream team of Dale Underhill, Ruth Stairs, Eric Ingraham, Shirley & Leanne Murray, Aunt Frances, Bill Hoyt and family. They not only filled a void for when our family could not be there, their love shone through in countless ways. Thank you with all our hearts.

We know that Dad will be missed by his and Mom`s big, wonderful families and the many, many friends he made throughout his life. He had a good long life and on that journey, he touched the hearts of many people. He was truly one special man, that Pam, Val & Alex were honoured to call Dad.

Rest in Peace Dad
