My buddy for many years in the shipyard, God bless and RIP MY FRIEND.
What a great friend and co-worker for 40 years. Lots of laughs and fun while getting the work done. Lots of stories we could tell. Rest in peace buddy!
Dilly was a hoot, was a pleasure working with him and for him in X15 fab shop. Also had the pleasure working with him in X10 planning under Russell Blanchard. My 1st encounter with Dilly was in 1977 on 3rd shift. He will be missed. RIP!!
Dilly was truly a unique individual. He was a good friend for many years in the Fab shop. What-a-Burger will never be the same without him. Rest in peace my friend
