I loved going over to Wayne's house when I was a kid I would go out back and shoot birds out of the Russian olive trees for hours. And where else could you go and cut the heads off of ginnea foul, so they could eat them for dinner, for a kid that was pretty fun. Rode my first dirt bike over there and wrecked it! Plus not many other people had rattle snakes in an aquarium! Wayne was a great guy and a good friend to my dad George Knight
I will always and forever hold Strawberry reservoir in my heart as it is a place where I have so many fond memories with my father. I love you Daddy!
My dad had known Wayne and "Daltonville" in the mid 70s. I had met Wyane while I was young then again got to know him as I grew older. His 2 grandboys Chuck & Strider I grew up with. Wayne is what I call a "good ole boy" old timer had lots of knowledge and I loved hearing him speak. He sure had many wonderful talents from his rocks, silver smithing and his beautiful leather work. The world lost a great man, we need more of his kind around that's for sure. I'll miss ole Wayne that's for sure.
Grandpa Dalton was the sweetest and kindness soul I have ever met. He would literally give the shirt off of his back to a total stranger. I saw this many many times over the years as I was growing up. Even when others did him wrong, and many many tried to take advantage of his sweet soul and kind acts..he still never gave up on doing the right thing and helping everyone. There was this time I went to visit grandpa, and his face lit up the second he saw my sister Shadee and I walking down his driveway. He grabbed a pair of clippers and ran to his favorite rose bush (his rose bushes were so big and so beautiful they grew taller than his house!) he clipped off two of the most beautiful roses for Shadee and I and told us he loved us and hugged us so big. But his excitement didn’t stop there, he had something to show us and he was so excited. He took us to the back of his house where he had built this giant 3 story cage...and inside it were raccoons! He said he found a raccoon in need and he made it his pet. Then he got more friends for the raccoon. Even when the raccoons bit, he didn’t mind, he knew he was helping them. Eventually those raccoons grew to love him, they were kind just like him. Grandpa dalton truly had the kindness soul and was willing to help everyone, animals included. This is just one of the many many sweet memories I have of him and his beautiful soul. He will be forever missed and never forgotten.
