"Pete B. Dillman 90, passed away at his home September 14, 2015 in Tucson, Arizona surrounded by his family. Son of Charles Dillman and Mercedes Romero, Pete was born on July 2, 1925 in Nacozari, Sonora. He was preceded in death by his loving daughter Marcia. Pete is survived by his children Peter Dillman, and Millie Rockafellow. He is also survived by five grandchildren, and four great grandchildren. Pete is a Veteran of WWII and the Korean War where he earned several medals including the WWII Victory Medal, Korean Service Medal, and the Bronze Star Medal among other commendations and citations. As a child growing up on the family ranch, he became a horseman. At the age of 17, Pete left home to join the Air Force to become a radar technician and pilot. After leaving active duty Air Force, he went into the Air Force Reserves and flew multi engine air craft until retiring as a Major in 1976. He then worked at Ft. Huachuca Electronic Proving Grounds until his retirement. He worked as an electronics technician and flew commercially for most of his adult life. He will be most remembered for his love of fishing, boating, and flying. His love for flying was secondary to his love for his family. We will miss him deeply, but we know he is now flying with angel in heaven. Visitation will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, September 21, 2015 at Immaculate Conception Church with a Mass of the Resurrection being celebrated at 11:00 a.m. Burial will follow at Calvary Cemetery with Military Honors by the U.S. Air Force Color Guard, The American Legion and VFW."
