His first full-time church was Jasonville Baptist Church. He pastored several churches in Indiana later on. Then in 1978, he accepted a carpenter job at Judson College in Elgin, Ill. He worked there for 10 years and retired in 1988, returning to Bedford.

Clarence Dalton Sr.

May 6, 1936 — March 25, 2010

Clarence Dalton Sr., better known about town as Pete, passed away Thursday morning at the age of 73, in St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis, surrounded by loved ones.

He and his loving wife Gloria had spent a very special 53rd wedding anniversary just three days before his unexpected passing.

Clarence is survived by his wife, Gloria Dawn (Beadle) Dalton of Bedford; five children, Cheryl Ann Robbins (Jim) of Bedford, Clarence “Corky” Dalton Jr. of Bedford, Robert “Bobby” Dalton (Kathy) of California, Kathleen Luann Baker of Bedford, and Donnita Elizabeth Bell (Zendell) of Bedford; 14 grandchildren, Jeremy, Robert (Scott), Doneral, Ashley, Jason B, Jennifer, Elizabeth, Susan, Danny, Jonathan, Chad, John, Jimmy and Jason R.; 13.9 great-grandchildren; one sister, Elsie Dalton Erb of Terre Haute; and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his father, Henry Dalton of Terre Haute; mother, Elizabeth Margaret Treadway Dalton of Bedford; a brother, Robert Eugene Dalton; one sister, Nancy Cunningham, both of California; and one grandson, Harry Edward Baker III of Bedford.

He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and an occasional member of the Fraternal Order of the Eagles and the American Legion.

Pete spent much of his free time with friends over a cup of hot coffee at the Donut Shop, later named Toby’s, and at the Golden Gables when Toby’s closed. He loved to fish with family just for the quiet pleasure. Actually catching a fish was secondary to the outing. He loved to ply his woodworking skills for friends and associates. You may have seen his handy work at the Golden Corral in the form of good old Uncle Sam, or one of several similar figurines he created when the urge hit him.

Pete had a generous and loyal heart and was always ready to give a helping hand to any who asked. It was this trait that most endeared him to those who knew him. Nothing was too much to ask. A friend to all, he never met a stranger.

Services will be held at Cresthaven Funeral Home and Memory Garden of Bedford. There will be a viewing from 4-8 p.m. today and from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., just prior to the burial service on Tuesday. Graveside services and military honors are to follow.

Friends are encouraged to visit and share fond memories with the family during the scheduled viewing hours.

In lieu of flowers, monetary donations in Pete’s name can be sent to Veterans Affairs Office, Attn: Bill Baker, 916 15th Street No. 8, Bedford, Indiana 47421.
