He graduated from Linton High School in 1951. Dallas taught country school at Winona School #6 in 19511952. During his teen years, he and his father enjoyed working on mechanical projects. Together they built a car, boat and several other smaller projects. He joined the Air Force in August of 1952 and was discharged in August of 1954. Following his discharge, he came back to Linton. Dallas married Helen Schumacher on February 11, 1956 at Sts. Peter & Paul Catholic Church, Strasburg, ND. To this union, they were blessed with five children. Dallas was a "Jack of all trades". He enjoyed bringing old things back to life. He had a collection of buggies, wagons and cutters which he restored with all of the original parts. Dallas attended Wahpeton School of Science training in sheet metal. Through the years, he was employed by Schumacher's Inc., Linton Sheet Metal, Humann Heating and Air, and also spent a winter in the oil fields in Wyoming. Dallas and Helen owned and operated Dal's Dario for seventeen years and also the Salesbarn Caf. Music was another one of his passions. He could play piano by ear and he loved to play guitar. He had several guitars, Hawaiian, electric and acoustic. He loved to sing and harmonize. He used to sing with his daughters. He enjoyed dancing, flying ultra-lite airplanes, attending his grandson's baseball games and spending time with his family and friends. From the early 1970's up until 1991 Dallas was very active with his horses and enjoyed all the trail rides he could do. He will be remembered by most as a tall cowboy. Not too many people recognized him without his cowboy hat. In the last years, people recognized him driving in his red and white GEM car, which he always drove around Linton with his pal "Muggins".
