Dillon (Sandra) of Madison, MS; Linda Moak (Russell) of Franklinton, Louisiana, Betty Keen (Garland) Tylertown, and Peggy Dillon Hilburn of Tylertown, MS, One sister Hazel Jones, 7 grandchildren, and 10 great grandchildren. He served six terms as District 1 supervisor for Walthall County, and was a respected leader in the county for many years. His success was he loved people and was willing to help anyone in need. His greatest joy was his children and grandchildren, who would get anything they wanted from papaw simply by giving him a hug. One memory that stands out in his latter years was at Christmas, when the grandkids were running and playing wildly. He looked at his son, Jerry Wayne, and said, "The brightest lights of Christmas are the tail lights."
