Fred Dalton Jr., of Millbury, OH just celebrated his 94th birthday and passed away Oct. 27, 2020 peacefully in his home with his loving family.

Fred was an avid fisherman and hunter from mushrooms to deer, duck, and turtle. He was an amazing bowler, hitting 300 a few times. Fred retired his bowling ball at 80 years old. He had a love of gardening, canning, and cooking what he had grown as well as sharing it with his family and friends. Fred also enjoyed card games, playing any card game but especially enjoying euchre. Fred was honored in 2013 to go on one of the last honor flights to Washington D.C. He felt every bit of a hero as people thanked him for his service during his trip.
