John F. Dillon III

This past Saturday, October 12, 2024, John´s ashes were buried at the St. Mary´s Cemetery in Bismarck, ND. This has been wish for quite awhile. Back to his "roots" as he expressed with his parents. They are buried here as well. His headstone will be set in May next year.

I'm sorry for your loss. John and I met for breakfast and worked the SLT jumble regularly at Lambs when I still worked downtown. He was a great guy!

Our late friend, Ed Hill, introduced me to John shortly after he joined Climate Control (CCI). When John became President my contact with him became more of a friend along with his wife Susan and my wife jj rather than a business associate. My business contact evolved to Mike Kladis who like everyone at CCI was exceptional. When I departed from PDC in `92 John asked me if I needed a job, he had one at CCI. I did not take him up on the offer and pursued my new direction. We saw John and Susan...

Oh, John, rest in peace. What wonderful memories we have of our friendship with you and your family! The Dillons and Hunters go back to your first week in Salt Lake. What a history we had together. Our bond was strong, our lives interconnected as we raised those six boys together! The trips, China Village, the cabin, and all those fourth of July shindig. We've shared a multitude of good times, and some not so. You're missed, thank you for all the wonderful memories. Our love to your family,...

John was a man of integrity and foresight. We valued the friendship we shared with the Dillons. May peace be with you Susan, John, Jim and Dave. I would like to think he and Barney are there together with the Pine Springs group playing some poker. Love, Karen

John was a great friend, mentor, and forum member. Knowing this time would come, makes it no less difficult. He will be missed by many, but his legacy will live on. Our deepest condolences to his family and please let me know if there is anything I can do to help during this difficult time. Morris & Merrily Kulmer, Scottsdale, AZ

One thing I can say about John is that once you are a friend of John´s, you are a friend forever! John gave me opportunities at CCI that others probably would not have, allowing me to work hard and advance, and still be a mom and available for my kids. For that, I will always be grateful! John definitely ran a tight ship at CCI, grew the business, and provided a great workplace for hundreds of employees. Being John´s personal assistant at CCI allowed me to get to know Susan and his boys too....
