Edward Dalton planned to meet his daughter at the end of her marathon in Dublin.

The 76 year old was the inspiration for Karen Taylor to join Team Diabetes as a marathon runner and fundraiser.

?The last time that I saw my dad, we were at the computer and he was supposed to come with us to Ireland,? said Taylor. ?I was showing him the route and it ended at the Temple pub, and he said, ?That?s where I?ll be having a beer.??

He didn?t make it.

Dalton died before the race from complications related to Type 2 diabetes.
