Did not him well, but I remember him when I worked at the juice plant in Fleetwood. Him and his family brought apples in during the processing season and I remember everyone speaking well of him. His son shared jokes with me and his daughter Connie worked with my wife Jean on "the line". Good memories for me. Rest easy Dallas.

My father and Dallas were friends. When I was a child we often got apples from him. Never really knew what they were saying since most everything was said in Pennsylvania DUTCH but there was a lot of laughing. Dallas helped make Rockland Township what it is today. It is a legacy the entire family can be proud of.

Thoughts and Prayers to Dallas and his Family. I called him the Apple Cider Man. Always had a funny joke to tell. Great Man.

Dallas was a very personal and loving father and husband. He would visit us on Saturday afternoons at our stand at Renninger's Farmers Market where we would get excited for him to bring us his delicious apple cider. He and my husband would have many conversations and laugh. We enjoyed his visits as much as the cider. He will surely be missed. God bless his family as there will be a large whole only God can mend. I am sure he is watching over you still from above.
