Remembering Robert Lee Dillard

​Robert Lee Dillard
March 27, 1953 – December 19, 2020

Robert was a great husband, father, and friend.
He tried to do right by everybody; he loved everybody, and everyone loved him.
His smile and laughter were contagious, and he would light up any room.

Robert, I think of you every day and find myself laughing at the things you were always saying. Your friend John gave a toast to you at his recent retirement, saying how it was a shared dream for you and him to retire together at the same time. We all miss you dearly.

Your loving wife,
Tracey Williams-Dillard
