I was thinking about you tonight Darren. I wish I could have thanked you for always giving me your batting gloves & sweatbands in Atlanta. I still have them 32 years later & my autographed balls and cards. Who knows maybe one day we will see each other again and I can say Thank You. You will never be forgotten Dutch. Xoxo Drema.

I'd built the townhouse where he'd lived for a while at 19th & Porter sts in South Philly. I had no idea how serious his situation was at the time. RIP, Dutch

Dutch was my favorite Philly ever! I was lucky enough to tell him that, in person on a meet & greet. He was Much too young. I am a 2x cancer survivor. So let me just say, cancer sucks. Forever in our hearts. ❤

I met Darren "Dutch" Dalton several times at Spring training in Clearwater and when he came to the Marlins in 1997 to help them win a world championship.
Played the great the proper way, hard, tough, clutch hitter, gave 100 percent all the time.
He was also incredibly nice with fans. He always seemed to have time to chat, sign an item, make somebody's day better. He also had great cars, beautiful women all the time around him. He was funny, had a great love for life.
He...

Darren, Ray and I are going to mss you terribly. We've prayed so hard for your health. You were a legend on the field at the Phillies and off the field. I remember the day we met you. Love, kindness exuded from you instantly. We prayed this day would never come and now the stinging reality really makes it hard to understand. We love you so much and thank you for the great years of friendship you gave us. We so enjoyed meeting you at signings and always looked forward to seeing you again at...
