I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

Mattie, Jim and Martha-Lee: Our deepest condolences on "Uncle" Stanley's passing. He was certainly a foundation "rock" to our family, being the brother of my grandfather, Carl. May our family find peace and solace in Stanley's legacy of family strength, values and service.

Much Love to all, Chris, Susanne and Zach Lee

Mrs. Dalton & Martha

We just wanted to let you know we are thinking of you both upon learning of Mr. Dalton's passing.  We have very fond memories of Mr. Dalton while growing up at Trenton St.  He was in every sense of the word, a true gentleman.  Always a smile or kind gesture could be expected from him.  May God bless your family and give you peace during this time.

Jim, Gladys, and Family:

I was very saddened to hear of your Daddy's death. It's one of those things that even though we know it's coming, we're never quite ready for it. I'm sure Stanley was ready in the best sense of being ready to meet his maker. He spent years making sure he was ready.

Know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I have no doubt you will be comforted by the greatest Comforter of all.

God bless!

Bill

I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of Stanley.  He was such a precious soul and know that he is with his Lord.  Linda and I were out of town until last night and I only now saw it in the paper.  So sorry that we did not know and were not able to visit.  We have the fondest memories of him and know that you all will miss him greatly.

Love, Mary Maples and the Bolinger families

Stanley Dalton was a very important roll model in my life growing up in Harriman. I'm saddened by his passing, but I have no doubt that he is in Heaven. I have great memories of Trenton St. Baptist Church and the people there. But Mr.Dalton was the greatest.
