Thomas Glen Dillman, the son of Glen William Dillman and Rosella Joan (Scobee) Dillman, was born on December 14, 1956, in Marshalltown, Iowa. He was raised on the family farm near Gilman and graduated from SEMCO High School in 1975.
Tom married Dawn Renee Paul on June 18, 1977, at the Laurel United Methodist Church in Laurel, Iowa. They were the parents of Amy, Matt, and Amber.
He farmed north of Grinnell and was a Pioneer seed representative for over 25 years. He was an active member of the Grinnell Christian Church, where he served as an elder for many years and had taught Sunday school. He served on the Grinnell-Newburg School board for eight years and had served on a local cooperative board in Gilman.
Tom held a strong love of his family and cherished the time they spent together, especially with his grandchildren. He enjoyed the many aspects of farming and was mechanically gifted. He held a patent for an acre counter used on agricultural planters and founded Tru-Count in 1982. His enjoyments were flying his airplane, spending time at their lake home in Lake of the Ozarks, and traveling. Tom will be remembered for his adventurous nature, quick wit, and his unique problem solving skills.
