Not sure what to say?

I spoke with Dillon on the telephone in 2003 after returning from a 50-day, 650-mile canoeing expedition through the interior of Labrador. My team retraced the canoeing expedition route attempted by his father Dillon, Leonidas Hubbard and their guide George Elson in 1903, which tragically ended in Hubbard's death.

Dillon is now a heavenly guardian angel, still looking out for everyone with the peace, love and understanding I see in the shining eyes and smile in this recent photo. We met Dillon when my mother moved to Converse in 2013, they became great friends; sitting together at meal time, walking outside, enjoying activities and each other's company. Dillon brought joy to our lives and it was a pleasure to know him. Our condolences to Dillon's family and friends. Sheila and Joseph Franz

Rest in heavenly peace Dillon, you will be greatly
missed. You were a great author!

Dillon's charm and wit will never be forgotten. A true gentleman in every sense. Once he knew my sons name was spelled the same we became fast friends. I hope he is eating the chocolate he loved and dancing with Sandy. I am sure he has shed the walker he used to prefer to carry than use. My thoughts are with you, he will be missed!
