As a young man, he was the President and principal partner of Dalrymple Equipment Company, a distributor of heavy construction machinery in Mississippi and West Tennessee, and he later served for years on the Board of Directors of Trustmark National Bank in Jackson, Mississippi.

He served as a member and a president of the Board of Trustees of the Amory Separate School District and as an advisor in the design of the Amory Middle and Elementary schools. He was the first chairman of the Amory City Planning Commission, a member of the advisory board of the University of Mississippi Engineering School, a board member of the University of Mississippi Alumni Association, and a member of the Board of Directors and a president of the Mississippi Historical Society. He was especially proud to have served as a Trustee of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History for 32 years.
Mr. Dalrymple was inducted as a member of the Society of the Cincinnati, an organization consisting of one descendant of each officer in General George Washington's American Army. Throughout his life he was also a generous and engaged philanthropic donor, most recently under the auspices of The Dalrymple Family Foundation, which he founded. A connoisseur of architecture and landscape design, he traveled extensively in Europe with his wife, "Deanie," and was especially fond of visiting Scotland, where he cultivated many friendships. He leaves behind many devoted friends and family members along with his faithful Labrador retriever, Connie.
