On July 31, 2009, Roland Ward Dalton, age 68, of Tooele, Utah, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family at his home. Roland was born November 29, 1940, in Circleville, Utah, to Ward B. and Mary Simkins Dalton. He married Maurine Robinson, August 21, 1959 in Circleville, Utah. He was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. His pride and joy was his family who surrounded him with love throughout his life. His greatest joy was spending time with his kids and grandkids. Being surrounded by his loving family brought happiness and purpose to his life. His second greatest love was watching sports. His favorite teams were the Colorado Rockies, Utah Jazz, BYU Cougars and the Utah Ute’s. Special thanks to Millie who cared for our father for 18 years and for Darin & Dr. Holt who were available when needed.
