Scott’s dad, Jim Dalton, was a Scout Executive with the Boy Scouts of America in the Indian Waters Council from 1982-1990. The council provided ushering and First Aide Services at the home football games at William Brice Stadium. This was a very beneficial introduction to Carolina Athletics for the Dalton Family. Scott’s enthusiasm and positive spirit will be sorely missed but the great memories will be there always for those who knew ham and worked with him. The summers will not be the same without him boating, jet skiing, tubing and fishing on Lake Murray at the Dalton Gang Lake House in Gilbert, SC. “We love you, Scott and will miss your contagious smile and laugh.” “The past is a ghost, the future a dream. All we have is now. Life happens to you while you’re making other plans.” (By Bill Cosby). A memorial message may be written to the family by visiting our website at www.jamesadyal.com.
