Bill "Billy Ray" Dalley

In 2013 we visited his collection of windmills- a wonderful collection that brought back happy memories of life on my childhood farm in Grier, NM. My sympathy to his family. Ann Etzel Prins

I'm so sorry for your loss. As you remember your love one, may your treasured memories and Almighty God comfort your broken hearts. (Psalm 147:3)

Mr. Dalley and his wife, Alta, were sponsors of the First United Methodist Church Youth Group (MYF). They were great folks. We all loved them. They showed lots of interest in each one of us. They richly blessed my life. Even as an adult we would see them often. We always had a good visit. I loved his collection of windmills. May God be with each of you. May God give you comfort and peace. I am so glad I have so many fond memories of Bill and Alta. They both will be remembered all...

Larry and I send our deepest condolences. Bill was always such a gentelman and we were privileged to call him a friend. God bless to the family.

May God comfort this family during this difficult time.
He was my teacher, I always liked him. When I was in Jr.High I skipped school with some friends. Guess who caught us? Mr. Dalley. He took me straight to my Mom at work. He told her I was too nice of a girl to be in with that crowd of girls. Lots of nice memories of him. Thank you Mr. Dalley.

Bill was my high school counselor. During that same time we worked together at Morgan Realty. He was always genuinely interested in my life. Once after complaining that my family didn't acknowledge my birthday, Bill made a phone call and gently reminded my mother. He will always be part of my story and I'm a better person for having known him.

My first memories of Mr. Dalley were when he was a 6th grade teacher at Lindsey Grade School. I was in Mrs. Morgan's class. I remember him as a great teacher & role model. I also remember that he showed us plans he had drawn for his Landscape/Gardening business which he later opened & thrived in. When we were in Jr Hi, he was the "Visiting Teacher" who called when we were absent from school. Years later, after college & marriage & kids, I was in Portales visiting family & we went by to see...

I first remember Mr. Dalley as a 6th grade teacher at Lindsey Grade School while I was a student there in Mrs. Morgan's 6th grade class. He later had a landscaping/gardening business in Portales. I actually remember him showing us the plans he drew of the business. When I was in Jr. Hi, he was the "visiting teacher" who checked on us when we were absent from school. In later years after going to college & being married & having kids, I was in Portales & went by to see him. He was so friendly...

We are so sorry to hear of your loss of Mr. Dalley. He was such a nice man and such a good counselor! Praying for your peace in this time.
