To the family, Dallas used to come in to Crazy About Books where I worked. He was such a pleasure to have around the store. He was always full of information. He will be surely missed.

The Biltmore High School class of 1959 would like to send condolences on the death of Dallas. He was a caring man and he will be missed. Heaven is his home now and he is living in peace and enjoying the glory he so richly deserves. The family will always have his legacy of love and the memories of a life well lived.

  (Dal's last poem: [written just after Wade's death on Dec. 13..alone])   They Will Not Die Alone   Some things that every Christian Can lay claim to as their own Is they know that Jesus loves them And they will not die alone.   As you walk the dark roads of this life You must share His name with all And never fear, He's always near And will answer when you call   No matter where life takes you How fearful or dark the roads Jesus' light always precedes you And He'll help you bear the loads   So Christian, walk strong and boldly Speak loudly and stand tall It's Jesus' name that you proclaim He will not let you fall   And even when death has called you Into that great unknown T'was Jesus' love that carried you And you will not die alone.....   Written by Dallas W. Mathews Dec. 19, 2009 Midnight...and not alone (I will always love you, Big Brother)
