Dallas moved to Clermont, Florida where he partnered with his long-time friend Don Bloebaum. Over more than 40 years, Dal-Don Produce grew into a substantial fruit distribution venture nationwide. Dallas was a pioneer in the produce industry and a man of unwavering character. He was first to implement a watermelon grader of his own design.
