Obituary: Anthony “Tony” Dallman, 94, Hood River
Anthony “Tony” Dallman was born on 2/25/1931 in Southgate, London, UK. Tony emigrated to the US in 1958. He is survived by his children, Jan Dallman, Peter & Lynda Dallman, Robert & Samantha Dallman, and Kris Boler, along with his 10 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Tony was predeceased by his wife Margaret Dallman.
Tony was active in the community. He brought soccer to the valley, which progressed to the AYSO program and eventually Soccer in the high school. He coached and refereed high school soccer.
He and Margaret, along with Charlotte Arnold, started the Mid-Columbia School of Dance. He taught gymnastics at the school.
Many people have fond memories of Tony as their school bus driver. Others remember him “busting” them when he was the truant officer. Tony was always there to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.
He had a strong and generous heart. He always brought a joke, a smile, and encouraging words. His loving energy and kind spirit will be missed.
On 5/13/2025, Tony passed peacefully at home surrounded by family.
