Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of such a great man! Although I didn't know him personally, he is one of the best teachers and has created some of my best school memories. His knowledge was so inspiring, along with his love of music and passion for teaching! I hope you find comfort knowing his memory will live on with not just his family members, but with the thousands of students who's lives he has touched. May he rest in peace.

Mister Dillon was my Favorite Music Teacher back in 1985/86/87 at Parkview Middle School. His patience, kindness, and love for music made him one of my favorite teachers all time!!! You will be missed Mr. Dillon!

Dear Dillon Family..Your husband and father brought much happiness to the Ashwaubenon High School music department, thank you for sharing him with all of us.

To all the Dillons - especially Marsha. Mr. Dillon was an inspiration to so many young musicians at Ashwaubenon. I always highly respected him and appreciated the effort he put into the music program. I am sorry to have missed the service. My prayers are with all of you. Anne Pamperin Renel

Dillon family,

I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Dillon was an important figure in my life and in making music a big part of it. He had a great sense of humor and a special way of inspiring his students. I played flute and piccolo in his high school band with two of his kids, Pat and Chris. I then also played saxaphone in the jazz band.

Mr. Dillon encouraged me to play in the UWGB wind ensemble, and from there I have been active in other community bands and...

Dear Dillon Family, Please accept my sincere sympathy on the loss of your wonderful father. He was a great man, and so well respected. You have been blessed to have such a wonderful man in your lives. God Bless you all.
