We will all miss Hugh Dillon. A man of faith, a wonderful role model, devoted to his family, a steady friend and neighbor. I first met him in the early sixties when my brother and I were the barefoot kids down the bay surveying the docks daily in search of blue crabs. Hugh loved fishing and was eager to share his techniques. As we matured to men with families of our own Hugh was always there to lend advice and support. He was a fixture from his porch on the Bay road always eager to offer a warm Hello. He made a real difference in many lives.

Ray Ray and Peg we will miss you on all our fishing trips over 35 years showing you where the fish were sometimes our trips lasted a little longer and they should have but we had great laughs Bea. You always called and said your ears were a little sore
Your son-in-law was always there for you God bless your grandchildren for taking care of you in your final days say hello to my grandmother and grandfather they always love you we will never forget all are cussing down at the dock so your wife did not hear it my mouth always had a way I was telling people off but not in a very nice holy way your wife always thought you were hanging around a truck driver because your language wasn't very good after a project or a fishing trip with me we're all heading there by and by we will all be in the circle and see you there if I behave
