Hermie always loved to laugh and tell a great joke! I can only imagine what fun he must have been in his younger days. We will certainly miss his wonderful smile and great humor.

Hermie and Louise were always so proud of their wonderful son; Stephen Dillard. Our brother-in-law; Steve has always been there for his parents. He has been a very loving son and has always unselfishly cared for his parents for the last several years.

Steve, we are thinking of you during this very difficult time and will always be here for you as you have always been there for our family.
