William Haskell Dillion Jr was born August 28, 1947 to William “Hack” and Christine Dillion in Henryetta, Oklahoma and died on January 31, 2023 in Enid.
At the age 1 ½ years, the family joined his father in Germany for five years. The family returned back to Tulsa and he graduated from Nathen Hale High School. Bill then attended OSU. He joined the Marines for four years. Bill met and married Patricia Townsend and they had two lovely daughters, Monica and Gwen. He loved his girls more than life itself. They came to Enid in 1970, and he worked for Dillion Overhead Door for the next 42 years. Bill enjoyed hunting and Harley motorcyles, and the wild and open spaces.
Bill was preceded in death by his grandparents, WT and Bessie Dillion and Jewell and John Robert Ellig; “My Boy” Rocky.
He is survived by his daughters, Monica (Kent) Rorick and Gwen Wells; parents, William “Hack” and Christine Dillion; 3 grandchildren and four great grandchildren; sister, Rori (Larry) Merryman; nephew, Joshua Merryman and family; other relatives and friends.
He was a kind and gentle heart. Bill was a Baptist and He loved the Lord. We will mis you Bill. You left a hole in our hearts. Until we meet you again. Your loving family.
