I was blessed to have Mr. Dillard as my math teacher in middle school. As someone who never quite got it, he made math easy to understand. After getting my teaching degree, I was also fortunate enough to work next to Mr. Dillard at CAL. His love for his students was always evident. He was always willing to work with students until they understood. Mr. Dillard was always willing to spare time for anyone who needed him. He had such a kind, gentle, giving spirit. I only heard kind words...

I am still having a struggle believing that such a tragedy can happen in this world.
Mr Dillard was one of the kindest gentleman I have known and was a wonderful computer teacher and chess coach. I treasure the time spent with him during my middle school years at CAL.
I pray that his legacy will live long and that his family will be comforted during this awful season.

Mr. Dillard was a great encouragement to me personally in the early 1990s. He helped the members of the Bullitt East chess team in inummerable ways. God use us all to continue his legacy.

We met Steve through Monday night chess at Meijer. He was so welcoming to everyone and always so patient and kind. His passion for chess was contagious. He encouraged our son and made such a difference. He will be so missed.

I met Mr. Dillard 20 years ago, while he was fostering a boy that I was involved with. He was one of the kindest, caring, and most gentle men I have ever met. I am so thankful that he took the time to teach us both a life lesson, showed us kindness, and that he tried his hardest to save so many children. I send my deepest sympathy to his family, and I hope that your peace is great in knowing that he was so loved and admired by so many. He truly was an honorable man. God was kind enough...
