Larry Dalton, 79, of Forest City, passed away on Sunday, January 4, 2015, in Mason City at the Muse Norris Hospice Inpatient Unit. Memorial services and inurnment of cremains will take place at Oakland Cemetery in Forest City at a later date.

Lawrence Kenneth Dalton, a son of Lawrence and Carol Dalton, was born on June 15 1935, in Forest City. Larry met Shirley in Albert Lea and the marriage which resulted endured for fifty-five years until Shirley’s passing in June, 2014. Three sons, Robert, Scott, and Michael, also died before Larry and Shirley. Larry and Shirley lived their entire married life in Forest City, working at Winnebago Industries until they retired. Larry was very proud of his single digit employee number and of his jocular acquaintance with John Hansen.

Larry is survived by his three siblings, Fay Ingelin, of Duluth, Mel Hinrichs, of Idaho Falls, and Clair Dalton, of Anchorage; and his granddaughters, Kaci and Kali Dalton, of Owatonna; and his aunt, Ruth Dalton, of Mason City; as well as nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, and neighbors, especially the McCloskeys, his next door neighbors.

Larry is the last of the Dalton family in Forest City. Grandfather Dalton farmed west of town starting in the late 1800s, and Uncle Warren attended Forest City High when the brick building was under construction. Larry and his siblings also attended in the brick building fondly remembered by old timers as well as the red sandstone building serving as elementary classrooms. We remember the “giant” turntable on the playground.
