Dalton was a huge Oklahoma Sooner fan who didn’t miss a home game for many years. As a young man he sang in a country western band and enjoyed traditional country music. He loved classic cars, restoring and working on them in his spare time. He was a gun collector and really enjoyed his time at the range. He spent many hours going to flea markets and collected quite an array of treasures over the years. Dalton was a proud member of the NRA and was very patriotic as a veteran of the U.S. Army.
Dalton was a Master Aircraft Mechanic and worked at American Airlines for 31 years until his retirement and spent several years constructing pipelines across the country prior to joining American.
