Dayton was born on February 25th, 1932 in Bottineau, North Dakota to Carl and Rose Bullinger. He moved to Seattle in 1954 after serving his country in the Korean War as a proud Navy Petty Officer, Second Class from 1950-1954. After an Honorable Discharge, Dayton was a Seattle night patrolman while also working for his uncle, before beginning his career with Puget Sound Power and Light.

Dayton's career brought their family to Vancouver, Washington in 1968 as a member of Sargent Tyee and Tyee Construction. He later founded Hawkeye Construction. Dayton was a dedicated, hard-working man who always took care of those he loved. He will be remembered as a compassionate, kindhearted, non-judgmental, gentlemen.

His generosity showed through on a daily basis with his family, friends and coworkers as he was always making sure they were taken care of. He was well known around the Little League fields sponsoring numerous teams each season.

Dayton married his wife of 61 years, Lyla in 1955. He was the proud father of five children: Patricia Marti, Kimberly Amery (Guy), Steven Bullinger (Chris), Kenneth Bullinger, Jeff Bullinger (Pam).

Dayton is survived by his wife, Lyla; brothers, Byron and Lyle; twelve grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.

Hi everyone,
I am sad for your loss. We just a few years ago lost Dad and sometimes it still seems surreal that he is not with us at the house or events. I think that is a good thing and i think we are lucky to have loved and been loved so much that we never forget our loss. I feel it will be that way for your family also. As for us in ND, we always enjoyed knowing that "Dayton's" were coming 'home'. however, Pat, you did remind me onetime that this was never really the kids 'home', just your mom and dad's, but, i think you all felt like North Dakota was going "home" when you came. I just wanted to let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you alllll. Lyla i will be thinking of you and everyone during the days ahead of Dayton's absence, and i will ask for a loving angel to wrap her arms around you and bring you Peace. Love to All Penny Bierman
