Jack Ray Dillon Jr.

Jack was my radio production mentor. When I expressed the burning desire to learn from a seasoned pro, he could not have been more helpful and more generous, even when he obviously felt terrible.
I owe Jack Dillon more than I can ever convey in words, and now, I'll owe him into the next life. I miss him terribly, but I know he is finally at peace, in that big prod studio in the sky.....I hope there are no network dubs up there, my friend. We shall meet again someday, God willing.

To the BEST papa in the world!!!
You don't know how hard this has been for me knowing your gone...
I dream of you, I think of you, and even sometimes i hear/see you..
And everybody that says Jack or papa...i think of you!
I miss you SOOO terribly much!!
You know, when u passed i could have sworn it was a dream!
Like none of this stuff had happened!
I even wished it was one, so I could hear that voice one more time, so i can get one more hug from the GREATEST PAPA EVER...

My Dear Friend Sherry,
It has been so very long since I last heard from you and today I was thinking about Jack & you so I called the station to see if he was still working and I was so surprised to hear he had passed away. Bill & I just was thinking about you this week end and wondering how you both were doing and the kids. Please call me so we can talk. We loved Jack & You very much and though we drifted apart we thought about you & the family all the time. You were great to work...

I will miss Jack so much as he always lifted me up and made me laugh. I used to work with him at the station and he was like a rock. I know that he is in heaven rejoicing with our Lord but I miss him very much. I'm so sorry that I found out so long after the passing. I miss having lunch with him at Hibachi 97!

Jack was a prince of a man. His heroic battle will always inspire me, but what I will remember most is his pure decency and kindness toward every soul he encountered.

His funeral Friday July 6 left me wanting to be a better person. It was a packed house, filled with people who will miss him at home, in the WBAP hallways and on the air.

May God bless Jack and his family. He has surely blessed us by allowing us to share his life.

--Mark Davis, WBAP

Jack
Your faithfulness to God and the church has humbled me. Your friendship and honesty will always be cherished. I thank God that he brought you into my life. Me and my family will never be the same.
I will keep my promise, and always look after your angel Sherry.

I am so sorry for your loss. Jack and I worked at WBAP together for 15 years. Everyone loved him dearly. He will truly be missed.

Sherry,
Please know how sorry I am that Jack has left us. I knew he was someone special from the very first time I met him. He made going to lunch a special event. I will miss his gentle spirit and that beautiful voice. I will miss my lunch buddy so much. I truly loved him. He was one in a million and I can't tell you how much he taught me. I still expect him to walk around that corner. He meant the world to me.

Jack was a Good man May he rest in peace. May God blees his family and give them joy that his pain is gone and now he walks with Gods Angels.
