Marcia, Judy, John,
My heart goes out to you on the sudden passing of your Dad. My Dad, Ed (d. 2013), had often remembered Dillard and remarked what a good person he knew and admired back in the late 1960s Cary days. Peace be with you.

My thoughts are with you all. Dillard was a great friend of my Dad, Bud Parsons, a 69th colleague. I got to know Dillard and Judy during a 50th reunion of the 69th Division and dedication ceremony along the Elbe River. He will be missed by sooo many. He was such a special, humble and honest man. I am a better person for having known him.

Peggy you are in my thoughts and prayers. My heart is very sad but I've been remembering the wonderful time I had with you and Uncle Dillard several years ago in Top Sail. He was such a wonderful man and now he is home with the Lord.

My heart is broken over the loss of Dillard. He was my family's attorney for 40 years. He was such an incredibly thoughtful and giving man. He was helping me with the loss of my mother - I just found out today, living up in NH. My prayers go out to everyone in Dillard's family. What an amazing life he lived - always caring about others. He will be so very missed.
Bless you Dillard and family. Leslie Tufts

Marcia, John and family,
My deepest sympathy for the loss of Dillard. While shocked and saddened by his sudden passing, I take heart in knowing he was doing something that he had been passionate about most of life. I think it was around 1978 when I first met Dillard and from that point on, he was a man that I admired and respected greatly, both personally and professionally. We met on a professional level, but first and foremost, I considered him a friend. He will be missed. God bless you and keep you as you work through this difficult time.
All the best,
Brent Cousins

To the Family of Mr. Powel,
I've never known a more honest attorney or had a more interesting friend than Mr. Powell. His integrity was impeccable, his advise was solid and his clients always came first. His love for flying was second only to his love for his wife and family. His passing leaves a great void in my life as I depended on his knowledge, wisdom and most of all the pleasure I had talking with him about his flying and military experience.

So "Go rest high on that mountain" Mr. Powell, and may your journey be peaceful and calm. You will be missed.

My sincere condolences to your family. The last time I saw Dillard was at the funeral of my dear father (Bud Parsons). I find comfort in the image of them now swapping more WWII stories of the 69th.
