Dalin was born on August 14, 1961 in North Battleford, SK. he had asthma and allergies which resulted in limitations in some activities of his daily life. As a youngster he enjoyed playing ball and he loved watching hockey and learning to skate and play hockey on the rink his dad would make in their backyard. As a small boy he would do puzzles and that hobby stayed with him throughout his life. He made all sizes, some up to 6000 pieces, some he framed and hung on the walls.

Dalin attended Riverview & Connaught in the public school system and the North Battleford Collegiate High School. Following graduation, he attended Reeves Business College. His first job was with an Electrical business for a short time. He delivered parcels for Canada post and also worked in several grocery stores in North Battleford.

Dalin was a dedicated fan of the Montreal Expos ball team, Canadian hockey teams, but especially the North Battleford North Stars hockey team. He had North Star season tickets for years until covid put a damper on that. He then continued to follow the team faithfully on the radio. Dalin was an avid bowler here in North Battleford winning many trophies over the years. He often attended provincial playoffs with the North Battleford team winning the men’s five pin bowling championship in 1992. Dalin played golf – he had a membership at the North Battleford country club and then with the Meota Golf Course. He played there for several years sometimes with his dad. When his dad was no longer able to play, he took him there for a ride along or the social time in the club house where he was hospitably accepted.

The family trips included a trip to Montreal where he and his cousins were thrilled to attend the expo ball games, as well as a trip to Disneyland. In 1986 Dalin drove to Vancouver to see the world exposition taking along his cousins. Dalin also enjoyed travelling to Las Vegas and surrounding areas with his parents for many years as a late summer holiday. Following his mothers death in 2003, these trips continued now taking his father with him. Dalin’s last trip was in 2018.

Dalin loved all kinds of music but mostly country and he took a tour trip to Nashville and attended the Grande Olde Opry. Dalin liked old movies and old TV shows and of course puzzles and he amassed a huge collection of VHS, CD’s, DVD’s and puzzles over the years.
