I am so saddened by Dalton’s passing. He was a pleasure to teach these last three months. As mentioned, he loved to learn and loved to share his knowledge.
I particularly enjoyed his chats; once he got started, there was no stopping him. He loved to chat.
He was a kind, caring soul who was so insightful. I feel privledged to have had the opportunity to meet him.
My condolences to all his loved ones, especially his family, whom he held so dear. Dalton will be missed.
