Dalton was born on November 24th, 1947 to the late Norman and Isada Harvey, in the parish of Westmoreland on the tropical island of Jamaica. Dalton graduated from Bluefield All Age School in 1964. Following graduation he moved to Kingston, Jamaica where he pursued the carpenter trade at Harold Henry Trade School. Dalton started his career as a self employed carpenter in Kingston, displaying a wonderful knack for solving problems and taking care of homes in his community. Dalton was presented with an opportunity to work in the US as a farm worker and immigrated to the state of Florida, in 1971. Dalton traveled back and forth from Jamaica to Florida for a few years before making it his residence in 1973. Dalton relocated to New York in 1980 to be closer to family.
