STEPHEN DILLARD

My memories of Steve bring tears to my eyes. Being a younger cousin, I looked up to him as a role model. He was always a leader. Always brilliant. Always stood out as someone with a destiny. My admiration turned into respect, the older I became. Respect for the sacrifice, the selflessness, the commitment given to others throughout his life. Godspeed cousin. Peace. Rest.

Judge -

I was deeply saddened to hear about Steve's passing. He was a good friend and terrific boss - as adored by his colleagues as he loved you and the kids. Steve had an amazing, rather dark, sense of self-deprecating humor that always illuminated hypocrisy and helped us all maintain our perspective as we worked with or for him. I'll miss Steve lots and am grateful for all that he did to guide us to make this a better place, enhance the personal and professional lives of...

My deepest condolences on the loss of a great American patriot who is, I know, beloved by his wife and children. I have the greatest admiration for a man who I knew as a real professional and who treated all around him with kindness and decency. May the Lord provide for the repose of the soul of his servant Stephen, and may He provide for the spiritual sustenance necessary in this time of heartache by his family. Rest in peace, until we all meet again.
