Robert "Smokie" Dilks

Was Robert a boy I went to school with in Philly? I remember a Robert Dilks from Redeemer Lutheran Day School. He lived in Frankford. If anyone knows blessed text me at 540-525-1001

Mariners Cove at Diamond Beach is a much better place because Bob saw the Deck Project through. "It never rains in Diamond Beach."

We never referred to him as "Smokey"...but as "Bob" he was the best Friend, Neighbor & Beach Buddy. If you had a situation, and you needed help, all you had to do was let Bob know, and your situation became less of a problem & less of a headache, because he then took it on. Thanks, Bob, for always bringing Sunshine into our lives. Betty & Frank DePaul

Mr. Dilks was one of the greatest guys that I ever knew. One has to look no deeper than the content of the character of his children to see what a class act that Mr. Dilks was. He may be gone, but his legacy of kindness and good nature will live on forever.

Kieran, Christina and family,

I was so sorry to hear about your dad's passing. It was obvious from the few times I met him why you all are so tight - not that I really knew him, but he seemed like a great guy, and he had good reason for the obvious pride he felt towards his fine family.

Catfish, don't be a stranger. I have no idea how to reach you, but we should arrange that long overdue drink with Wes, and hoist a few in your dad's honor to boot.

You are all in my...

Smokey,

Miss you a bunch. Hope you, Ashly and all our families that are with you are having a great big Thanksgiving dinner!

Love you guys! Susan

I just found out about Smokey's passing, I remember him from Vietnam. Our hearts and prayers are with your family.

I am very sorry for your loss my prayers are with you and your family during this trying period.

I knew Smoky from Recon in 1969. He was a standup guy who was liked and respected by all. Since Vietnam, I only saw him once at the 2002 Americal reunion in D.C.. I wish I could have spent more time with him and known his family. The world will be a lesser place without him.
