An outstanding county agent who lived agriculture. Never lost his passion for agriculture and willingness to serve the sugarcane growers; gardeners: livestock producers and the youth of Lafourche parish. As a member of the NSU faculty, I worked with his wife who was one very professional and kind lady; I taught his son in law David, who was a very good student. And I worked with Dalton on a professional level when I worked as an agricultural ag consultant. I have a lifelong relationship with the Landry family starting with growing up in Belle Rose. I knew and always admired his parents. His sister taught me in 8th grade. She was my home room teacher and taught English. The Landrys were an outstanding; hard working family. Also the most kind, generous, and kind folks. The world would be far better off with more families like these Landrya. Dalton was a role role model both as a human being and a professional. RIP my friend.
