Dr. Dalphond, well known as “Doc,” was a family medicine physician in the town of North Judson for 40 years, an occupation he dearly loved caring for his community. Dr. Dalphond had the heart of a true small-town physician, treating and caring for his patients with the utmost compassion, as they were all his close, personal friends. In his tenure, Dr. Dalphond delivered almost 2,000 babies in Starke County. He also founded a passion project in 2016 restoring the Pioneer Cemetery Terrace Wall to preserve the beautification of his beloved town. In his free time, you could find Dennis playing golf and making holes-in-one at Chesapeake Run Golf Course, spending time on his motorcycle, being “Papa” and playing with his six grandchildren, or enjoying the beautiful nature of his homeland in the Canadian Rockies with his wife. His favorite place to visit was Mount Edith Cavell in Jasper National Park in Alberta, CA. To know him was to love his big, bright, and energetic personality.
