Dolphin Dunnaha Overton III

i never saw him but he was a good man i am his grate grandson

I was deeply sadden by your lost. Mr.Overton meant a lot to my family. He was instrumental in relocation us here to NC. May God bless you all I will never forget him.

I am honored to call him one of "ours". A. Furlough

One day God looked upon his garden, and he found an empty space;
He then looked down upon this Earth and saw a National Hero's troubled face;
He put his arms around him and lifted him to rest,
God's garden must be very beautiful, He only takes the very best.
He could see Dolphin was suffering,
He knew he was in pain;
He knew this hero would never get well again.
He saw the road was getting rough,
and the hills were hard to climb;
So.....He closed Dolphins eyelids and
whispered......peace be thine.
It broke our hearts to lose him,
but he did not go alone;
for the Long Gray Line of The Citadel and West Point were with him,
the day God called him home!
Dolphin Overton is forever enshrined as the most decorated alumnus of the college, a Distinguished Citadel Alumnus and a Hero of the school never to be forgotten. All at The Citadel stand in salute of this fine man and national Hero!

Sue, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Overton family...so sorry to hear of the loss of a father, grandfather, and friend. Truly a considerate,kind gentleman with a adventuresome spirit and contagious smile. The entire family and extended family is in my thoughts and prayers. Miss you all.

Overton Family,

Our thoughts are with you, I pray you find comfort in this time of loss. Mr.Dolph was an amazing human being, and I am extremely fortunate to have known him.

Jo Elizabeth: I will never forget the float trip where he and I walked that raft back in the rain ... the knowledge and perspective I gained on that walk has been priceless to me as an adult. Thank you for including me. I love you always.

Your loss is felt by everyone who knew Dolphin. We all remember Dolphin as we were growing up in Andrews S.c.

So sorry for your loss. Also the loss of a friend we grew up with in Andrews S.c.

My thoughts and Prayers are with the Overton family. We have lost a Great American. I greatly appreciated his kindness and friendship to me and my family. We will miss him also.

I was fortunate enough to know Mr. Overton when he lived here in Smithfield, NC. Among other things, this great American business man and war hero was humble enough to carry Meals on Wheels! I am proud to say I knew him. His kind seldom come along.
