Lambda Chi here and Dallas gave me my first job out of college. I managed several of Dallas' businesses including the Putt-Putt, Pizza Chef, etc. And enjoyed every minute of our relationship. It was a pleasure Dallas.

I knew Dallas at ECU and as a LXA brother. He was a couple of years ahead of me in school, but I remember him well. He was an extremely nice person and I valued him as a LXA brother. I am very sad for your loss. Goodbye to brother Dallas. May God bring you comfort
