Not sure what to say?

As another birthday approaches, it´s a reminder of the 12 years that the Jackson area has been without one of its best mentors and coaches. Kenny remains in my thoughts and prayers, John Southworth

Ten years have passed since the Jackson community lost a truly dedicated mentor. Kenny remains in my thoughts and prayers. While noting the names on many of the original "guest book" entries, I see where they, too, have rejoined a team being coached by Kenny. Still sadly missed, my friend and coach!! John and Wendy Southworth

I always remember Mr. Dillion when I would come to officiate any of his events and he was always welcoming, friendly and a genuinely kind man full of stories and laughs. He is sorely missed.

Thinking of you Janie. My Bill (Rogers) thought the world of Ken!

It doesn't seem possible that Kenny left us nearly six years ago. His passing created a void in how the lives of so many young individuals were mentored and channeled in proper directions. Not an evening nor morning prayer session will ever fail to include Kenny, as one of the best coaches, leaders and friends we had the privilege of knowing. Our hearts and prayers will continue to include, not only Kenny, but also Jane and the kids!!

Hi Kenny,
We have such wonderful memories of you. Thanks for your friendship all of these years. You and Janie left a beautiful legacy that Janie continues to carry on. Our prayers for Janie on this earth and to you in Heaven. May God continue to bless both of you.
Thanks for the memories. Love Shirley and Ted.

Holiest man I ever knew. Miss him every single day.

My condolences,to Janine and whole Dillon family.

Janie and all the Dillon Family, We are so sorry for the loss of your loving gentleman.
I first caught up with Kenny in 4th grade at St Mary's and finished high school with him. Shirley caught up with Janie working at Kresge's 5 & dime and then met Kenny while she was running the elevators at Oppenhiems on Michigan Ave while they were all in high school. So many great memories with both of you. Never met a finer couple. We have always thought of them as some of our 'best-est'...
