The first person our family met in NC was Bob Dillon. Bob and Bev, Pam, Matt, and Jimmer were are first neighbors and welcomed us with open arms. Bob created for us a warm and positive view of the people we will meet and work with in North Carolina even though he was a Nebraskan and we were Coloradan. It turned out that we also worked for the same company, Northern Telecom, and carpooled to work. This company became known for great products but more importantly, great people and Bob was right up there with the best as a colleague, mentor, and friend. Connie and I are grateful for our long friendship with Bob and his wonderful family. We will miss him and his smiling face greatly. Love, John & Connie Beagley

Bob was the kindest, most giving person to all. His smile could melt your heart. He loved his family and his faith, he was a faithful Catholic who gave his time and talents. I send my love to his family, their loss is our loss.
