loving Dad

Dillard “Chig” Was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend. He was a very hard working man who loved to help people and was always ready for a laugh. He loved animals and took in all strays and made sure they found homes, even if it was his own. He was awarded Humanitarian of the Year. He had a service station for many years and was very proud of what he had built. He is very loved and missed. Love Cindy, Kevin, Dixie and families. ❤️
