Gary's Family, Sorry to hear of Gary's illness battle and passing. I knew the Dillon family from Frazeysburg School, where Gary and I spent 12 years in the same class, graduating together in 1964. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To Gary’s family, So very sad to hear of Gary’s health battle with ALS and mush to soon death! He was one of the good guys! We always had good times at our close knit Frazeysburg School! We only had 36 members in our Class of 1964, felt more like family than classmates! So many happy memories! Gary will be sorely missed by so many! Thoughts and prayers to all of his friends and family!!!❤

To the Dillon Family, sorry to read of your loss. Your family are in our prayers. To Gary thank you for your service to our country, and when you go into Heaven, and you will, keep that competitive spirit, that you had playing 3rd base for the fireman softball team, as you become an angel to watch over your family and community. RIP Gary, Heaven will make good use for a solid number 4 man in the batting order. Randy Lincicome

Spent 12 years of school in the same class with Gary. So very sorry to hear of his passing. We went to Viet Nam during the same time period. That makes him a proud American and a proud Veteran. May God Bless his sole.
