Dillus was something special , someone different who was always full of laugher , had a a smile on his face and his favorite thing to do was to joke or pick , just to see who he could get stirred up. More than anything he was a giver , one who gave of his time and one who loved to give things whether it was a farm animal or whatever it was, it was his way of saying I love you. He will be deeply missed and cherished forever in our hearts , even his 4:30 am phone calls .
