Dallas retired from the City Garage of Winston-Salem, where he worked for 30 years. He loved being a mechanic and took great pride in it. His passion was cars and was evident by all that knew him. Whether it was working on them, wheeling and dealing, or watching NASCAR. He was a loving and kind man. His family and friends were everything to him. Dallas was an example of a hard-working man his entire life. His joys in life were his family and friends, hanging out at the garage or car lot with his buddies, telling stories and laughing at his own bad jokes. He was a loving husband to his wife Grace for 58 years and a loving father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Dallas was an example of God’s love, compassion and joy. He always had a smile and a twinkle in his eye.
