James Dalton Penny: born Jan 12, 1948, died July 16, 1983
James Dalton: funny, loving, kind, full of jokes, loved sports, especially football(his favorite team was the Washington Red Skins)
Jimmy and I married in 1966. We were so young and full of hope. Our years were blessed with two wonderful children, Beth Ann and Jimmy Jr. As you can imagine with James Dalton as their Daddy, we always had fun! He was my best friend as well as my husband. Jimmy did more living in his 35 short years than most people do in 100! He had fun in high school and loved many of you as his friend. He helped some of you torment your teachers and enjoyed every minute of it. He loved deer hunting and fishing with Ray Johnson. There are so many things I could share about my Jimmy, but the best of all is, He was my love and our children's hero. Jimmy died on Saturday night July 16, 1983 from a sudden massive heart attack. Beth, Jimmy Jr. and I still love and miss him. Gwen Ryals Penny

James Dalton always made life fun--an adventure--for others. As his sister-in-law, I never remember a dull moment when he was around.(We continue to miss him and tell "Big Jimmy" stories.)
