Ezra Vernard Dillon

Ezra Vernard Dillon age 99 of Wirtz went to Heaven to be reunited with his loving wife Elsie of 63 years. He was a hard worker and a great provider for his family. He enjoyed going to the cattle market every Saturday. One of his favorite things was sitting on his porch chewing his tobacco and counting the cars passing by. He spent many years farming and working at Walker Foundry. He later retired from MW Windows. Vernard will be truly missed by all.
